Paper Summaries

Classes will consist of both presentations and discussion.  To ensure that you get as much as possible out of the course, and to keep the discussion lively, you will write evaluations of the papers after we cover them in class. Each evaluation should be less than a page long (don't write a novel) and should follow this rough format:

• Title and Authors of paper
• One sentence summary of the paper (the problem(s) it addresses and how)
• Summary of key or important ideas in the paper (why are we reading this anyway?)
• How does the paper substantiate the importance of those ideas (brief summary of logical argument and evidence)
• One or two important flaws or limitations in the paper (be explicit)
• How relevant is this work today and/or what future research does it suggest?

The evaluations should be turned in to Prof Chien’s office at the end of each week, on Friday before 5pm. If the door is closed, these can be put under the door.
