CS190: Computer Science Seminar - Section 5
In this course, we will explore topics in computer science by reading and presenting research papers. In addition, you will write a survey paper on a topic of your choice. For those of you doing a senior project, the paper will help prepare you for your project in the Spring. There are five sections of this class. This is the page for Section 5 (Friday 11:00am-12:15pm) taught by Alexandra Papoutsaki. The main CS190 senior seminar page is here.
Class Basics
You will each present twice during the semester with a partner. These presentations should be 20-30 minutes long and must end with 2-3 discussion questions. If you are presenting, you and your partner should:
- Read the paper(s) at least 3 days before your presentation.
- Schedule a meeting with Professor Papoutsaki at least 2 days before your presentation to go over your plans for the presentation. Make sure you've read the papers before we meet!
- By 5pm the day before your presentation, post on Sakai the 2-3 discussion questions that will be on your last slide. At least one question must be technical and at least one must reflect on societal/ethical/cultural issues.
- Give your presentation and lead a discussion in class.
- Schedule a meeting with Professor Papoutsaki 1-3 days after your presentation to discuss/debrief.
- Read the paper(s).
- By 5pm the day before class, post on Sakai response to one (or more) of the questions and/or a question about the readings.
- Come to class and contribute to the discussion.
Concurrently you will be meeting deadlines for your final paper. Deadlines are noted in the Schedule. Everything will be turned in under Assignments on Sakai.
