Instead, I will offer PLS 595B (Current topics in Plant Science-Advanced) as a one credit course that meets once each week. Early in the semester, we will talk about and learn how to read and discuss research in the primary literature. Once we are comfortable doing this, we will read broadly in the literature with a number of papers that I will choose. The last several weeks of the semester will be devoted to discussions led by students in the course of a paper of their choosing (in consultation with me). <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#0033CC'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#0033CC'>The course is open to <u>all</u> graduate students.
