Reading on Research

Course ID 15921

Description This is a weird seminar. It's not about doing research. Instead, it's about the (often, undiscussed) psychological, emotional, and philosophical themes that you will face as you come to identify as a researcher.

Key Topics
-- Can technology change the world?
-- How does funding determine what research happens and what research doesn't?
-- Why do people "drop out" of grad school?
-- Who gets credit for great ideas when research happens in a team?

Course Relevance
Appropriate for first and second year doctoral students in Computer Science
