# Paper reviews
|
||||
|
||||
!!! attention
|
||||
* Paper reviews are for students in time zones who **cannot** attend live
|
||||
lectures.
|
||||
* Students who are able to attend live lectures should complete a paper
|
||||
presentation and presentation summary instead.
|
||||
|
||||
Students who cannot attend live lectures will complete **one paper review per
|
||||
week** (10 in all). We will be using HotCRP---standard conference management
|
||||
software---to manage review uploads and discussions. Reviews must be uploaded
|
||||
**before the paper is presented in class**.
|
||||
|
||||
## What makes a good review?
|
||||
|
||||
A good review accomplishes several things:
|
||||
|
||||
- It **summarizes** the main contributions of the paper.
|
||||
- It highlights **strengths and weaknesses** of the paper.
|
||||
- It **evaluates** the paper, explaining why the reviewer thinks the paper is
|
||||
strong or weak.
|
||||
- It gives authors **suggestions to improve** the paper.
|
||||
|
||||
## FAQ
|
||||
|
||||
- **Can I switch from doing paper presentation/summary to paper reviews or vice versa?**
|
||||
|
||||
No: if you are doing paper reviews, you must let me know on the first week of
|
||||
class.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Are late reviews accepted?**
|
||||
|
||||
No: reviews must be uploaded before the paper is presented in class.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Can I submit more than one review a week?**
|
||||
|
||||
No: should submit exactly one review per week.

groups, students will be expected to complete a final project on a technical

topic related to the course.

Besides covering technical material, this course will emphasize research skills:
|

**reading** research papers, **presenting** technical material, and **writing**

summaries and reviews.

## Accommodations for Remote Students
|
||||
|
||||
Please use the mailing list if you want to contact the whole course:
|
||||
To provide opportunities for live discussion, lectures will be held
|
||||
synchronously. To accommodate students attending from other time zones, all
|
||||
lectures will be recorded and uploaded to BBCU (this may take a few hours).
|
||||
Students who are not able to attend synchronously will not be able to present a
|
||||
paper and write a presentation summary. Instead, these students will complete
|
||||
paper reviews asynchronously. See the [assignments](assignments/presentations)
|
||||
tab for more information.

## Grading
|
||||
|
||||
All registered students should be on this list. If you are not registered but
|
||||
would like to follow along, please let me know and I will add you.
|
||||
Grades will be posted on Canvas.
|
||||

||||
Otherwise, you can contact me directly. To ensure that your email goes to the
|
||||
right place, please start the subject with **CS763**.

|
||||

|
||||
## Academic Honesty
|
||||
|
||||
**Writing is a central part of this course.** All students are expected to
|
||||
follow academic honesty standards. In brief: all the text that you submit must
|
||||
be **in your own words**, and you are not allowed to copy anything (from a
|
||||
paper, or from someone else) without full attribution.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are completing paper reviews, you should not search for reviews that may
|
||||
be online---this is expressly **against the course policies**. You should
|
||||
complete the review as if you were seeing the paper for the first time.

||||

||||
