For the official description of the Mini-course concept, follow this link.
Remember to REGISTER for every minicourse you take. This needs to be done before the course begins. You'll find the registration form here .
We are now looking for mini-courses for 2006-2007. If you want a certain topic or a certain lecturer, the best thing to do is to go and BUG THEM now. Better yet, get a bunch of friends and go bug en masse .
Remember to contact the instructors if you have an interest, the strength of this program is the interaction!
