Paper Reviews and Class Participation
Students are expected to have completed the assigned readings before
attending class and actively participate in discussions.
To facilitate great class discussions, students must submit an email
review of selected papers at least 30 minutes before the lecture for
which the paper is assigned. I will email review assignments to the
class mailing list and post them below.
Late reviews will not be accepted and the time
is based on when the email is received, not sent.
Reviews should be emailed to the TA
(adlitvin@cs.wisc.edu)
with:
- Subject: 752 Review of Author1 et al.: Title1.
The ASCII body of the message (NOT an attachment; NOT HTML) should
be 20 to 40 lines (maximum 3200 characters) with:
- a short paragraph summarizing the problem attacked or goal of the paper,
- a short paragraph summarizing the paper's methods (if any) and results, and
- a short paragraph giving your opinion of what is good and bad about the paper.
Reviews will be graded on a scale of Excellent (10 points), Satisfactory (7
points), and Unsatisfactory (3 points). Reviews that are too long will
automatically receive an Unsatisfactory grade. We may grade reviews
via sampling (i.e., grade all reviews but for only some of the papers).
Students are encouraged to discuss the papers before writing their reviews,
but each student must write their own independent review. Reading another
student's review prior to submitting your own constitutes academic misconduct.
