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 crowd sourcing and social computing.
