# 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.
