HSE 193 Independent Journal Club
Offered every quarter, this course provides HSE MS students with the opportunity to fulfill a required journal club credit through an independent, faculty-mentored format. Prior to the start of the quarter, the student must develop a journal club proposal in collaboration with an approved faculty mentor who will serve as the course instructor. The proposal must outline the selected topics, literature review timeline, weekly meeting schedule, and deliverables to be completed by the end of the quarter. This proposal must be submitted to and approved by the QBS Administration no later than one week before the end of the drop/add period. The course requires a minimum of 1 to 1.5 hours of weekly meetings with the instructor, in addition to approximately 3 hours per week of independent work (e.g., readings, written assignments, presentations). These expectations must be clearly documented in the proposal. The faculty instructor is responsible for monitoring the student’s progress and submitting a final grade to the QBS Administration at the end of the quarter.
