A candidate for the doctorate may be required to register for this course every term after the students coursework has been completed and until the dissertation has been accepted.
This fellow-centered, faculty-guided seminar course offers the performing arts fellow an opportunity to participate in didactic and mentored learning experiences that will inform the comprehensive and highest quality care of performing artists. This course includes mentored instruction in research methods for a performing arts focused scholarly project, teaching methods for small & large group instruction, and didactic modules on the physical therapy management of the performing artist. The fellow will have the opportunity to participate in a monthly research practicum/journal club and will reflect on the skills being developed through targeted clinical practice.
Emphasis will be placed on the impact of such analysis on future clinical decision-making and future case management.
The course is intended for PhD students who are engaged in relevant scholarly activities that are not associated with the required course sequence. Such activities must accrue more than 20 hours/week.
Provides students the opportunity to present draft dissertation proposals and draft dissertation chapters.
Prerequisites: the instructors permission. Guided individual research.
Prerequisites: the instructor's permission. Discussion of current research activity in Geometic Topology.
This course is designed to provide the tools for the doctorally prepared nurse to evaluate, translate and integrate published research results into clinical practice. During the course, students will learn how to conceptualize clinical practice problems and transform them into answerable clinical research questions, how to search for the best clinical evidence, and how to assess clinical evidence using basic epidemiological, biostatistical and scientific principles. The course will culminate in a systematic review or meta-analysis of a body of research relevant to advanced practice nursing.
Prerequisites: the instructors permission. Review and critical study of selected current research problems. Students may register for 1 point (attendance only) or 2 points (attendance and present a ~20 minute report, likely in student teams of 2).
Seismology Seminar: Topics in Global and Regional Seismology , Earth structure at global and regional scales; earthquake source analysis; seismotectonics; current topics in the geophysical literature.
This seminar series aims to promote a modern interdisciplinary approach to investigating the Earth's internal state through exploration of the recent literature. In the past decade, the increasing abundance of mineral physics data at high pressures and temperatures has resulted in the close integration of seismology, geodynamics, and mineral physics studies. This data has been produced primarily by
ab initio
computations, and currently can be obtained on-demand. Increasingly sharper tomographic models and more sophisticated geodynamic codes incorporating mineral physics information have also contributed to this integration. This seminar series will address from fundamental to cutting edge topics in mantle structure, dynamics, and mineralogy. In the first year, we will focus on the lower mantle, including the core-mantle boundary. This region is still the most mysterious and controversial region of the mantle. We will start discussing the essential aspects and inferences on lower mantle composition and end with the latest predictions combining seismic tomography and mineral physics. In between, we will discuss seismic tomographic models and dynamic simulations relevant to the interpretation of mantle structures and understanding of consequences for the dynamic state of the Earth.
The purposes of the Seminar are (a) to aid graduates in developing and refining material for their dissertation; (b) to give graduates experience in presenting material to a philosophical audience in an informed and supportive environment; (c) to give graduates experience in critically discussing presented material, and thereby to see how their own presentations and work can be developed to withstand critical examination. The Seminar is restricted to Columbia graduate students in their third or later years, and all such students are strongly encouraged to attend. No faculty (other than the organizer) will be present. Those attending the seminar will be expected to make one or more presentations of work in progress. The material for a presentation may range from a near-final draft of a chapter, to an early critical overview of an area with an outline plan for an approach to some chosen problem. We will attempt as far as possible to organize the presentations in such a way that they are grouped by subject-matter, and provide a rational path through the territory we cover.
Monday seminars are open to the public and take place in Schermerhorn Hall, Room 200B on Mondays from 12:10-1:30pm. The seminar series semester schedule can be found
