CS480--Senior Seminar
Guidelines for Preparing Discussions
Jim Rogers
Fall 2003
In preparing papers for class discussion you must follow this schedule:
- By Wednesday two weeks prior to the discussion you should have
gotten my approval of the papers you are going to prepare. Note that you
will have to meet with me prior to this date (often several times), to
discuss your ideas. I will not approve any set of papers that has not been
through this process.
- By Friday two weeks prior to the discussion you should have given
me a proposed set of study questions. It is important that you get it to me
by this date so we will have adequate time to discuss and expand them.
- By Tuesday one week prior to the discussion we should have agreed
on the study questions, you should have typed them up using the LaTeX form
and I should have received them from you. Note that you must include the
bibliographic information on the papers along with the questions. Please
edit these carefully for spelling, grammar etc.
- On the Wednesday one week prior to the discussion, you must bring
copies of the papers to class to distribute. You can copy them on the
department's copier. Please copy them double sided.
- On the Wednesday of the discussion come prepared to lead the discussion
and take notes on it.
- By the Friday following the discussion, you should have given me a draft
of your synopsis of the papers and the discussion.
- By Tuesday of the week following the discussion, we should have agreed on
a final version of the synopses, you should have typed them up, again
using the appropriate LaTeX form , and you should have submitted them to me.
The LaTeX forms for the study questions
(studyform.tex) and the
synopses (synopform.tex)
are available in the class web. Please see
me if you have any questions about using them.
