Reviewing papers for 574

The reading list and schedule will tell you which papers we will be covering in each class. Before class, you must read the papers that we will discuss, and submit a summary of each paper. Summaries should be about 3/4 of a page in length, certainly no longer than one page. All submissions should be turned in by 11am the day of the class to allow me time to read them before we meet.

Scott Rose has set up an online summary submission system for us. So, write up your summaries in a text file, and then click on the [review] button next to the title of the paper in the reading list to be taken to a page that will allow you to submit a new summary or read existing summaries.

Each of your summaries should have the following rough format:

  Paper title/author

  One-line summary:

  The (two) most important ideas in the paper, and why:

  The one or two largest flaws in the paper:

  Identify two important, open research questions on the topic,
