INTD 500 Ethics and accountability in biomedical research
Instructors: Elyse Schauwecker
Syllabus: currently unavailable

Syllabus: currently unavailable
Survey results:
- - I took this class in Summer 2007. One week long course offered at HSC during summer semester. Fulfills the NIH requirement for ethics education for graduate students and post-docs. I would recommend it if your lab is at HSC.
MATH 501 Numerical Analysis and computation
Instructors: Dr. Proskurowski

Syllabus: currently unavailable
Survey results:
- - I took this class in Spring 2007. t get much out of it. The course was pretty difficult and only mildly relevant to my work. If you are simply interested in learning some numerical analysis techniques you can use it, and, if you are not interested in the theory, do not take this course. I would not recommend it.
MATH541A Introduction to mathematical statistics
Instructors: Larry Goldstein

Syllabus: available here
Survey results:
- - I took this class in Spring 2008. It was good but tough. I would not recommend it to NGP students.
- - I took this class in Spring 2008. It was good. A hard course. Heavy for non-math major. Better try doing some homework (available online) beforehand to see if it suits you. I would still recommend it. MATH-541B is said to be more application-oriented. But I did not take MATH-541B.
NEUR 538 Neuroscience ethics and professionalisation
Instructors: Sarah Bottjer
Syllabus: currently unavailable
Survey results:
Syllabus: currently unavailable
Survey results:
- - I tool this class in Fall 2006 (Dr. Grzywasz). t was the first time that ethics was offered, so I thought it was good (but with no frame of comparison). We just took turns giving seminars on each ethics topic in the syllabus, but I actually wished that Norberto would give more lectures himself (he only gave 1-2 in the end unfortunately!).
- - I took this class in Fall 2008. It was good.
- Sarah definitely makes this otherwise fairly uninteresting (but necessary) course bareable. Her enthusiasm and imposed class participation keep you awake and thinking.
PM 510 Principles of biostatistics
Instructors: Stanley Azen, Melissa Wilson
Syllabus: currently unavailable
Survey results:
Syllabus: currently unavailable
Survey results:
- - I took this class in Spring 2008. It was fantastic. The course is very well organized and TAs are really good. There is weekly homework, a midterm and a final exam. Also, there is a computer lab with hands on training with SPSS statistics package. Excellent for students with minimal prior statistics knowledge. Lectures and labs are held on HSC. I would recommend this class.
PSCI 599 Sepcial topics: Biomedical Imaging - from molecules to man
Instructors: Wolfgang Wolf, Peter Conti
Syllabus: currently unavailable
Survey results:
Syllabus: currently unavailable
Survey results:
- - This course was very good. I took it in Spring 2006. Unfortunately is it not offered anymore. It was design for students interested in small animal imaging techniques covering topics from fluorescent microscopy to NMR, PET, MRI and fluorescent live animal imaging. I would recommend it.
