TOPICS are assigned after the first week of the class.

Topics:

 

STUDENT EXPECTED OUTCOMES:

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

EVALUATION:  Following is the Evaluation system for the Final Grade.  Each assignment will be graded.  Students are responsible for completing them as scheduled.

  1. Assignments                      20%
  2. Presentations                    20%
  3. Mid-Term Paper                20%
  4. Final Exam                         20%
  5. Final Project                       20%

Final Project, Mid-term paper, and Final exams are mandatory. 


Assignments:

The assignments include research paper critiques

Paper review assignments:

For each paper, students should write a review answering each of the following questions:
1. What problems (with prior work or the lack thereof) were addressed or surveyed by the authors?
2. What solutions were proposed or surveyed by the authors?
3. What are the technical strengths and main contributions of the paper's proposed solutions?
4. What are the technical weaknesses of the paper's proposed solutions?

Paper Presentation:

On the day of your paper review, you should bring your review presentation, i.e., power point file (flash drive), to the class. In total 15 ~20 minutes each, including:
- Brief description of (1) introduction/idea; (2) method (experimental design, participants, apparatus, experiment procedure, data collection); (3) results; (4) discussion and/or conclusion; and (5) etc.
- What knowledge did you learn from the paper/work, e.g., anything you’ve never known before; which part of the work interests you most…

Research papers will be assigned to students to read, analyze and present to the class. Presentations will be structured as follows:
