Each term SEED instructors teach unique courses over and above regular calendar-listed offerings that meet student or research needs. This spring term is no exception, as indicated by the lists below.
These special courses are provided to students as single sections, with course numbers taken from the University calendar as "reading courses" or "special topics". Often these courses are closed, one-off, intended to be delivered to only one or two students under special agreement with their supervisor, for example, to do training around a particular method or subject. Other times these are new courses under development that may grow over time to be listed in the University calendar -- these may be open to registration or available upon special permission from the instructor.
