Paper presentation schedule

Presentation guidelines

• Give a short overview of the paper (5-15 minutes). Introductory material and related work should be brief. Focus on what they actually did in the paper, how they did it, and what their results were.

• At some point, I am likely to jump in to focus the discussion; I view my role in these classes as something of a "co-moderator". I may simply be trying to focus an an aspect of the paper(s) that students didn't understand (based upon the classes' reading reports).

• I'd like this to be more of a discussion --- going through the paper to develop a better understanding of it. Few people get everything from a first reading.

• Assume that everyone has read the paper, but perhaps not as thoroughly as you have. This means you probably won't need to go into much detail in motivations, but you might for the technical details.

• Have a few topics for discussion. These topics might be technical details that merit more explanation, interesting issues raised by the paper, relevant issues not addressed by the paper, or points regarding the motivation or application of the work.
