Each week we will meet to discuss one paper from the recent literature.  Students should read the paper beforehand and prepare questions and comments in order to participate fully in the discussion.  In addition, students are encouraged to volunteer to lead the discussion at least once during the semester.  All students are welcome to attend, whether or not they are signed up for the course.

To receive the 1-hour credit, students must

• sign up for the course at the beginning of the semester

• attend each week

• write a brief summary of each paper covered (five sentences minimum), answering

  • What did the authors do?

  • What are the strengths / weaknesses / potential improvements?

Summaries should be turned in via email to the instructor with a subject line of Paper summary: Author, where Author is replaced by the name of the first author of the paper. Non-conforming emails will be returned.

• lead the discussion at least once during the semester
  (Note:  A paper summary is not required for the week that you lead the discussion.)
