This course aims to help the students to build up the competency to read scientific literature, and to participate the discussion on the latest advances reported by global scientific communities. Each Master student presents once and comments on other classmate’s presentation once. The paper will be assigned by his/her advisor, and the commented paper (Different from their own research domain is preferred) will be randomly assigned.
