Watch the departmental seminar by Pr. Gross.

Watch the departmental seminar by Pr. Gross. Type or write a report on his investigation.

Every research project of Pr. Grosses’ should be explained to some extent but you may develop some more than others.

This assignment is designed to practice extracting the essential information and explaining it clearly. For each project, ask yourself: what for ? How ? What was expected ? What results have been yielded ? What are the consequences, conclusions ? What next ?

The focus is scientific: keep other details, such as people, partners, business, locations, budgets, timelines, to the minimum, inasmuch as they have relevance. For example, if the name or location of a body of water or a lab is mentioned but its characteristics are irrelevant to the scientific endeavour, it is not worth noting.
