We are bringing back the pipelined format from last year, with a few
changes. The biggest is that each student will be expected to
review several papers throughout the quarter. Here is how
each class will be structured:
|
10 mins
|
Summarization of paper from previous week.
|
|
20 mins
|
Summarization of reviews from previous week / class discussion.
|
|
|
|
10 mins
|
Presentation of problem statement for this week's paper.
|
|
25 mins
|
Break into groups and discuss, focusing on evaluation of problem
statement (is this a good problem?), and brainstorming how one
might go about solving the problem.
|
|
15 mins
|
Each group summarizes discussion to whole class.
|
As in last year's seminar, papers are discussed
before they
are read (since the papers are to appear in SIGGRAPH 2006, we assume
people aren't familiar with them). We hope that this encourages more
engaging discussions and creative thinking.
Each student will review two sets of papers during the quarter (dates
will be assigned during the first meeting). The goal of reviewing
papers is to encourage thinking about the quality (of ideas, writing,
etc.) of the papers discussed. Reviews will follow the SIGGRAPH
format, and will be discussed the week after the papers are presented.
The schedule and submission procedure for reviews will be established
during the first meeting. Reviews should follow the SIGGRAPH format; the SIGGRAPH review form is available
here. Please edit this form with
your responses and submit the form using the peer review system. For
SIGGRAPH paper reviewing guidelines, see
