Has anyone taken any of the 4th year life science seminar courses? How were they? How many people are approximately in each seminar? Is it similar to a thesis project in the sense that you are interacting and doing research with the prof, but perhaps a bit less work and planning individually? I would really appreciate any answers. Thanks!

Bumping this because I also want to know!

Usually in a seminar course there is like 20 ish ppl. I have heard that Dr. Pincivero is a good prof to take a seminar course with and he usually focused on nutrition and stuff. I dont know how any of the seminar courses are but I have heard great reviews of pincivero and kajura. It is not similar to a thesis because a seminar course consists of a few projects plus writing assignments. I dont know if there is any such midterm for that course...but most likely no exam. At least not for pincivero's seminar.

does anybody know if there's group work involved in the seminar courses?

Yeah, some seminars will require group projects as well including group papers, presentations, etc. Groups can be 2-4 or so people depending on the course and assignment.

do you know if Dr. Pincivero's seminar course involves it?

:bump: there is life sci 4L03 and 4p03 available this semester. Has anyone taken them before? Please review them here: difficulty, interest level, environment, etc
