Organization

Each week one or two papers will be assigned for reading. A student in the seminar will take the lead in first summarizing the papers and giving an initial critique. The student will then lead a discussion about the paper. Students should sign up for 2 credits maximum. There may be occasional talks by external researchers.

For this quarter the theme will be accessibility via ubiquitous computing technologies, things like smartphones, Google Glass and other augmented reality devices, and connected sensor devices (internet of things).
