Adaptogenesis. Seminar 1. Topic: "Adaptation as a Fundamental Property of Biological Systems"
The seminar will take place on 23.09
No later than 21.09.2013, the thesis of the presentation must be made public (on social networks, on the "Forum" of the distance learning course, through personal communication, etc.). The theses (2–3 pages) should reflect the main points that will be presented in fuller form in the seminar report. The format of the theses is free (text, diagrams, expanded outline). Anyone who wishes may comment on this material regarding its structure and content.
The opponent presents their review at the seminar, after which it will be posted under the thesis of the report. It is possible to participate both as a presenter and as an opponent at the same seminar (but on different questions).
Work is assessed as follows: presentation – 5–10 points, opposition – 3–5.
