Paper Reviews and Class Participation
Students are expected to have completed the assigned readings before
attending class and actively participate in discussions. Students are
encouraged to form groups to discuss papers before class.
It is possible that this schedule will change somewhat, and, if so,
I will send email a few days in advance.
Reviews should be submitted via Canvas (on due date by 12:30 PM).
A review should contain:
- 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.
You must not use ChatGPT or any other LLM/AI system to assist you in writing the review
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. Reviews will be graded
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.
