Paper Presentation

  1. Presentation for each paper in the class (two papers in total) should last 20-25 minutes, if uninterrupted. The goal is to ensure that the technical content of the paper is presented before jumping to the technical strengths and technical weaknesses of the paper.
  2. Any questions, particularly provocative and thought-provoking ones, should be answered by the presenter first. The presenter is the one that should demonstrate an understanding and mastery of the paper content.
  3. Other students are going to limit interruptions to only clarify what is being presented. Questions and discussion happen at the end of each paper presentation, which last about 10-15 minutes for each paper.
  4. Your presentation will be graded based on the following six criteria. A score (out of 10) will be given for each item in the following list.
    • Presentation of technical content
    • Demonstrated understanding/mastery of the paper
    • Presentation of technical strengths
    • Presentation of technical weaknesses
    • Concrete ideas on what to do differently to improve the paper
    • Discussions

The score of each presentation will be provided to the presenter no late than the end of each week. Detailed feedback of each presenter can be provided upon request.
