Teaching molecular biophysics at the graduate level

Teaching molecular biophysics at the graduate level.

Teaching Graduate-Level Artificial Intelligence

During the past year, the entire AI curriculum of our department has been revised. A large part of this effort was aimed at developing an up-to-date, core AI course that will be required for all new computer science graduate students at UMass I. Conducting this activity in a department with such a large group of AI faculty members was more than an intellectual challenge. In particular, it was h...

Preparing for the future: teaching scenario planning at the graduate level

© The Ecological Society of America www.frontiersinecology.org W technology, and fast-growing human populations are placing unprecedented pressures on the planet (Steffen et al. 2004; MA 2005c; IPCC 2007). Are tomorrow’s environmental scientists being appropriately prepared to help address the challenges we face? Future environmental research will focus largely on established issues, such as cl...

Ac 2007-677: Experience in Teaching Software Quality Management at the Graduate Level

Relatively little has been published on the issue of teaching software quality management. This paper reports a case study in teaching a graduate-level software quality management course using industry assessments as a learning vehicle. We explain the contents of the course, describe the process assessments the students perform at local software organizations as their term project, and summariz...

Teaching high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance to graduate students in biophysics.

Teaching modern methods of high resolution, multi-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in the limited time usually available is a challenge because of the breadth and complexity of the subject. Here we present two outlines for lectures on basic principles and biophysical applications of NMR, either in one lecture or in six to twelve lectures. We advocate emphasizing the ver...
