Weekly reading summary
Each week we will have assigned materials regarding a specific topic. In detail,
- Week 2, 5-10: relevant sections from R1, and three your favorite relevant whitepapers from R2.
- Week 3: R3, R4
- Week 4: R5
Every student is expected to read the assigned material for each week and
write a reading summary, and email that to the instructor before the class starts.
The reading summary, preferably 200-400 words, should state the problem or topic that
the material addresses, briefly describe the solution or direction that the authors
come up with, and comments on the material (such as its strength and the weakness).
Class participation and presentation
During the fall term, every student also needs to make a presentation on the topic
for a chosen week, mainly by summarizing and commenting the mateiral he has just
read for the week. The student should then lead the discussion during and after the
presentation, with the help of the instructor.
Every student should email the instructor before 10/06/2003 on one of which three
weeks (week 2-10) s/he prefers to do the presentation, then will be assigned a specific
week.
