CSEP551 Winter 2012

Paper schedule

You're required to read all assigned papers, and if you're curious about a topic and want to go deeper on your own, I've posted links to several optional additional papers. The optional papers are exactly that: purely optional and for your own edification.

For each lecture, we will post a small set of discussion questions based on the assigned papers. You're required to add a unique comment to the discussion of one of the questions by noon on the day of the class, to give time for everyone to read the blog entries before class. Note that the earlier you post, the easier it is to be unique. Please keep blog entries short: they can be anything that provides insight into the question being asked. We will automatically grant two mulligans during the quarter.

You should post your discussion comment to the paper discussions section of the class discussion board.
