Students will be required to attend class and actively participate. Reading assignments will be presented in summary format by student participants in a predetermined oder as agreed upon in the seminar. It is presumed that completion of the assigned reading materials prior to class by all students is necessary in order to actively participate. Hence, the class will be a mix of equal proportion of student presentations/discussion and lecture presentations by the professor. In addition, each participant will be required to develop a research proposal in the area of "human factors and driving behavior". This proposal will include a well developed review of the relevant literature as well as a detailed plan for the conduct of an actual experimental study. Note, however, that the experiment does not actually have to be conducted to fulfill the course requirement. The professor reserves the right to require completion of a mid-term and final examination [to be discussed in class].
