In 422, I will present 3-4 research papers in class (see course schedule for details)

• To provide good ground for the discussion, you  must also :
   
  • Carefully read the paper before class
  • Send  (at least 3) questions on each assigned paper by email to the address CPSC422.14@gmail.com  by 5pm of the day before the class. The email subject should be <last name of the first author - your name>
  • Clarification questions are welcome, but  participants should also try to ask questions that address weaknesses in the presented research, that relate the research to general issues in the field or that make connections/comparisons with topics covered in class.
  • hand in a brief summary of each paper in class (no more than half a page each). The paper summary should address the following points
• Beside improving  participation to the discussion, the objective of this activity is to help participants learn how to read papers with a critical eye, as a reviewer for a conference or journal would do. For more info on how to read a research paper, make sure you *carefully* read this detailed instructions.
• In addition to the quality of the summary/questions, punctuality in submitting them will be taken into account for marking.
