We are bringing back the pipelined format from last year, with a few changes. The biggest is that each student will be expected to review several papers throughout the quarter. Here is how each class will be structured:

10 mins	Summarization of paper from previous week.
20 mins	Summarization of reviews from previous week / class discussion.
10 mins	Presentation of problem statement for this week's paper.
25 mins	Break into groups and discuss, focusing on evaluation of problem statement (is this a good problem?), and brainstorming how one might go about solving the problem.
15 mins	Each group summarizes discussion to whole class.

As in last year's seminar, papers are discussed before they are read (since the papers are to appear in SIGGRAPH 2006, we assume people aren't familiar with them). We hope that this encourages more engaging discussions and creative thinking.

Each student will review two sets of papers during the quarter (dates will be assigned during the first meeting). The goal of reviewing papers is to encourage thinking about the quality (of ideas, writing, etc.) of the papers discussed. Reviews will follow the SIGGRAPH format, and will be discussed the week after the papers are presented.

Note: Remember to read the papers after the presentation.

The schedule and submission procedure for reviews will be established during the first meeting. Reviews should follow the SIGGRAPH format; the SIGGRAPH review form is available here. Please edit this form with your responses and submit the form using the peer review system. For SIGGRAPH paper reviewing guidelines, see here.
