CS/ECE 757 Advanced Computer Architecture II Spring 2008 Section 1 Instructor Mark D. Hill and T. A. Jayaram Bobba URL: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~markhill/cs757/Spring2008/

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 8:59am before the lecture for which the paper is assigned. Late reviews will not be accepted and the time is based on when the email is received, not sent.

I encourage students are encouraged to form study groups to discuss the papers before writing their reviews, but each student must write their own independent review.

Reviews should be emailed to both Prof. Mark Hill (markhill) and TA Jayaram Bobba (bobba) with:

• Subject: 757 Review Author1 Year (e.g., 757 Review Sutter 2005)
• The ASCII body of the message (NOT an attachment; NOT HTML) should be 20 to 40 lines (maximum 3200 characters) with:
  • a short summary of the paper (e.g., problem & proposed solution).
  • identification of a point that should be emphasized in lecture.
  • an exam question based on this paper.

Reviews will be graded on a scale of Excellent (10 points), Satisfactory (7 points), and Unsatisfactory (3 points). Most reviews will get a 7. Reviews that are too long will automatically receive an Unsatisfactory grade.

Review schedule is on lecture page.
