You may attend the faculty lectures and get 1 academic hour credit by doing the following in an acceptable manner.

1. Attend all 6 lectures.  If you cannot be present for any at all, it is your responsibility to have it recorded and listen, or get the full information presented in some manner. 
2. You should take your own notes (whether on any outline sheets provided or your own blank sheets of paper) for each lecture.
3. You should read at least 2 articles recommended by each faculty presenting, and write a one page (double space, 12 point font) summary of each.  It is recommended that you do this in advance of the seminar, but your summaries and lecture notes should be submitted to Prof. Kunjummen within one week after each lecture.
