All students will be required to make two
paper presentations
from the topic list.
As a presenter, you will be responsible
for both communicating the facts of the papers, as well as leading the class
discussion about the papers.
Here are the requirements regarding presentations:
- You need to email me to request a paper to be assigned to
your name: one for short (7%),
the other for long (10%);
one of them has to be completed by the first half of the semester.
All assignments are based on FCFS,
please check the web site so that you will
not list the choices that have been taken.
- All presentations must be either in powerpoint or in pdf format.
- Each presentation should be approximately 15 minutes for
short and 25 minutes for long , plus time for questions
and discussions.
- By 9am of your presentation day, email your file
to me so it can be transferred onto my notebook.
Otherwise, bring your U-driver/CD (no floppy disc please)
or your own notebook to the class.
- You are welcome to
refine the topic and scope, or suggest new topics, and
find papers and materials to be presented with my consensus.
- Among those Thursday's except your presentation days, personally
hand in a summary writeup (within one page) based on one of papers to be
presented on that day. You need to do it seven times in total
to accumulate your 7% credits.
Many of the papers have been presented recently
in conferences. You may be able to locate slides,
figures, or other materials for your presentation on the authors
WWW site.
You still need to customized it into our class.
When you are presenting the paper, you will be leading the class.
Thus it is important that you are prepared.
In addition to presenting the contents of each paper, you
should also present a critical analysis of the paper.
- What were the strengths of the paper?
- What were the weaknesses?
- How the work is relevant to the topics of this class?
- What future work is suggested by this paper?
- Compare the paper with other related works if you know some.
The topic list for reading and presentation is at the course web
page, and will be lively updated.
The item, even after its posting, may be changed unless it has
been requested and assigned.
