Class flow

Students are first divided into two groups. Each group will take this course in the first or the third quarter. Students are further divided into sub-groups of three to five members. Each sub-group will visit three laboratories during six weeks (two weeks each) and experience a research topic in each laboratory. Reporting is required for activity in each laboratory (three in total).
