BioGraphI FMN Spring 2024
Schedule
Proposed Schedule
**Please note that the schedule is tentative and is subject to change. Please check back often for updates.**
Online Meetings
The exact time of our online meetings will be determined by the availability of everyone in the FMN. If we are not able to find a single meeting time for all of us, we will divide into two groups (cohorts) to meet at different times.
After the kickoff meeting, we will meet for one hour each week throughout the first four weeks of this FMN, followed by every other week for three subsequent meetings. Our final meeting is a show-and-tell at the beginning of May to wrap up our FMN. We will meet via Zoom video conference; details on our Quick Links page (viewable to members only).
Homework
All homework assignments are to be completed by a specific date, to be determined, prior to the meeting listed. Additional information will be provided in the online meetings and announcements.
Participant Facilitator/Notetaker Roles and Responsibilities
Each participant participating in this FMN will choose a week to be a “participant facilitator” and/or a "participant note taker." We'll divide this up during our kickoff meeting.
Participant facilitators are responsible for reading any forum posts associated with the meeting topic prior to the meeting and collecting questions and responses, for preparing thoughts and comments related to the reading and forum posts for the week’s meeting, and for helping the FMN leader facilitate the weekly topic by prompting discussion.
Participant note takers are responsible for keeping a record of the meeting's discussion, and summarizing and synthesizing the key ideas or themes that are brought up. Either while taking notes or after the discussion, this person will also put helpful links into the notes document of any resources that were discussed. These notes will be indispensable to all the participants as a running record throughout the FMN.
