Course Description
This weekly lecture/seminar course addresses similar
material to
600.445, but covers selected topics in greater depth. In addition to
material covered in lectures/seminars by the instructor and other
faculty, students are expected to read and provide critical
analysis/presentations of selected papers in recitation sessions.
Students taking this course are required to undertake and report on a
significant term project under the supervision of the instructor and
clinical end users. Typically, this project is an extension of the term
project from 600.445, although it does not have to be. Grades are based
both on the project and on classroom recitations. Students wishing to
attend the weekly lectures as a 1-credit seminar should sign up for
600.452. Students may also take this course as 600.646. The only
difference between 600.446 and 600.646 is the level of project
undertaken. Typically, 600.646 projects require a greater degree of
mathematical, image processing, or modeling background. Prospective
students should consult with the instructor as to which course number
is appropriate. Prerequisite: 600.445 or
permission of instructor.
