DGED 501 GTA DEVELOPMENT
F,S 1 cr. SEM 1.
PREREQUISITE: Current Graduate Teaching Assistant Program.
-- The purpose of this course is to provide MSU's graduate
teaching assistants (GTA) with an opportunity for on-going,
interdepartmental training throughout the semester as
they teach their assigned course(s). The class will
meet three times a semester in a seminar style fashion.
Most of the requirements will be met through independent
reflective writings by the GTA.
DGED 591 SPECIAL TOPICS
On Demand 1 - 4 cr. Max 12 cr
PREREQUISITE: Upper division courses and others as determined
for each offering.
-- Courses not required in any curriculum for which
there is a particular one time need, or given on a trial
basis to determine acceptability and demand before requesting
a regular course number.
DGED 610 GEOBIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS
TEXTS AND CRITICS: KNOWLEDGE
F 3 cr. LEC 2 RCT 1
PREREQUISITE: Acceptance into a Ph.D. program.
-- This course represents the first of a two-course
sequence for Ph.D. students participating in the Geobiological
Systems Science IGERT program. The course will provide
an introduction to systems biology and explore the components
necessary for understanding, formulating and developing
models that represent key processes in complex microbial
communities.
DGED 611 IGERT: GEOBIOLOGICAL
SYSTEMS SCIENCE II
S 3 cr. LEC 1 RCT 2
PREREQUISITE: Acceptance into a Ph.D. program, DGED
610.
-- This course represents the second of a two-course
sequence for Ph.D. students participating in the Geobiological
Systems Science IGERT program. The goal of the course
is to develop a working understanding of system biology
models and how these approaches can be applied to complex
microbial communities.
DGED 613 IGERT: SCIENTIFIC PROPOSAL
WRITING
F 3 cr. LEC 3
PREREQUISITE: Acceptance in IGERT Program; DGED 610
and DGED 611.
-- The goal of this course is to provide the doctoral
student with strategies, practical skills and experience
in seeking funding sources and writing and evaluating
scientific proposals. The student should leave this
course with a proposal that is ready to submit for funding.
