*** Important note: The course moves to Fishbach 505 ***
Course Topics
The students will present two papers each week, according to the schedule listed below.
Course Duties
Each student must present two papers during the semester (note that the date/time for presenting each paper is set).
NEW: Following some questions of the presentation layout and content, here is an example presentation about the
Q100 Database Architecture from one of my students. Note that the large number of slides is due to animations, but the actual content is equivalent to a presentation with 25-30 slides.
Use the following link to select a paper to present: https://doodle.com/poll/itku7wv4vs2bvphr
Note that selecting a date also means selecting the paper scheduled for that date as listed below.
In your presentations, make sure you address the following points:
1. What is the problem that the paper addresses?
2. According to the authors, what is the new insight that the paper contributes?
3. How does the paper addresses the problem at hand?
4. What are the results?
You presentations should also convey your critique of the paper:
1. Is the problem important?
2. Are the insights significantly novel?
3. Is the methodology sound?
4. Are the results substantial?
