# 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.
|
|
|
|
