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?

  • 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.
