Guided Reading Courses provide students with an opportunity to learn how to critically read and understand scientific literature. In each course the students will discuss and analyze in-depth a series of high-quality scientific papers focused around a particular research field. They will attempt to understand the background of the papers, as well as the questions, techniques, and major findings they present. Each M.Sc. student is required to participate in one such course during his/her studies. This course replaces the "Student Seminar" that was obligatory in the past. Please note that the number of participants in a guided reading course is limited to 12. Therefore, pre-regiatration is required.
