This quarter we will read and discuss pairs of papers from a variety of HCI subfields.
Each week will feature a different pair and two people will be asigned as discuession leads (responsible for selecting the papers and reminding everyone to read them). We will be using NB to faciliate discussion for the quarter. As you read the paper, place your comments directly on the text. We encourage you to respond to others comments as well. For access to our NB site, email Eric.
Organization
-
Two papers (a position paper and a response) will be selected each week.
-
A pair of students will present an introduction about the subject and papers. In class they will lead a discussion about the paper.
We will assign leaders at the first meeting. To stimulate diversity, each pair should not have the same academic advisor.
-
Other students are expected to discuss the paper on NB as the read it by Thursday at noon so that the discussion leaders can curate all the responses before the meeting on Friday.
-
You are encouraged to read others' comments and critiques before the seminar.
Lunch will be served at noon. We will start discussing at 12:15pm. We hope people come at noon and socialize a bit before the discussion.
