Readings

Paper Review Guidelines

Write a ~400 word critical response to each required paper. You only need to read one paper in depth, the other you can skim, but you still need to write a response to both. It is extremely valuable to be able to skim and know what is going on so lets practice!

1. In the first paragraph:
   1. State the problem that the paper tries to solve.
   2. Summarize the main contributions.
2. In one or more additional paragraphs:
   1. Evaluate the paper's strenghts and weaknesses.
   2. Discuss something you would have done differently if you had written the paper.
   3. Suggest one or more interetsting open problems on related topics.

Your most important task is to demonstrate that you've read the paper and thought carefully about the topic. Paper responses are due before the start of class via the online submission system. After you upload your work, the system will ask you to assess two responses written by your peers. We'll combine peer feedback and our own evaluation when determining your grade.

Reading list / Schedule

This is a rough schedule, depending on how things go and where the interest is in the class, we can cover these topics, or some additional ones as well. We'll start here and see where the semester takes us!
