If you're a speaker, here are some talking points you may want to cover.
The seminar will be divided into two sections. The first few weeks will be dedicated to 20 minute talks/Q&A sessions with your fellow (senior) grad students who have gone through a research project. Grad students from many different CS disciplines have volunteered to meet and share their experiences (we may even bring in some recent grads). The discussions will be in the context of a project they have completed, but will likely be more about the process than the actual technical details. This can include anything from coming up with the idea to evaluating it, recovering from failures, writing a paper, and so on, all from the perspective of a certain project/discipline.
The second few weeks will be aimed at specific things you will probably need to learn at some point to be an effective researcher. This will be open to whatever participants are interested in but may include:
The seminar will be fairly informal with 1 unit credit / no-credit.
