Note1: the lecturer give 1. 5 hr lecture about the "theme" listed in the excel file. the lecture content will include these papers listed, BUT also contain
other information that you need to know. After the first part done. One of you will take a lead to discuss those papers listed in that particular
lecture. This should take about 30 min at least for presentation and discussion, but can be longer. The lecturer will do the mark for the student
who lead the presentation.
Note2: There is no mid-term examine and final examine. But presentation (50%), mid-term report (20%) and final-report (30%) are the three factors to
decide the mark. The presentation in the last lecture will be the focus on your PhD proposal.
Note3: The lecture room will be relocated at the B1 seminar room at the NGHB, Biodiversity Centre
Note4: study groups should be formed to prepare review manuscripts of specific topics related to marine ecosystem. These review articles will be a
potential paper submitted to journals, such as Zoological Studies, Journal of Marine Science and Technology, etc.
