Buddy System:

Men learn while they teach!

The Buddy System is designed to break in new students and give them a helping hand and make sure they find their way around and settle in more quickly. All new students are assigned a buddy group. The old-timers help the new students by answering questions and showing them around. Together the group can enjoy all the lab activities that takes place at the start of the semester.

Lab Meeting:

All lab members will discuss lab business every Friday (4:30-5:00 PM). Lab members are encouraged to report their technical problems or common interests in the meeting. It provides a great opportunity for information exchange and for everyone to contribute their thoughts and ideas.

Datablitz:

Students will give brief (<10 min; 2-3 slides) progress reports on their own work every Friday (5:00-5:50 PM) and the free, unhampered discussion that follows. Presenters will be assigned in advance by the lab Head. It is customary that the students of very slow progress on their project will frequently present their work. [Meeting Link]
