Kaffeeklatsch
My graduate
advisees are expected to participate in the Kaffeeklatsch. The
standard procedure is as follows. Prior to each session, a participant circulates
a draft of a paper or a thesis chapter. (On the current schedule, the
paper must be circulated to the members of the group on the previous
Friday morning, by 9:00 a.m., and I have to have a
hardcopy left in my box. If the material is not circulated on
time, the meeting will be cancelled.) A second participant prepares
comments, which he or she will read to the group to kick off the
session. The sessions are scheduled for Tuesdays at
11:00-12:30, Cafe on 1st.
Check in with me to sign up for presentations.
