- Paper Reviews: You can miss 4 reviews with no penalty. Afterwards, each miss beyond that will result in 25% decrease (i.e., 5% out of the 20% alloted for the Paper Reviews component) in grade for this portion of the course. Missing eight or more paper reviews will result in getting 0% out of the 20% possible for the Paper Reviews component.
- Paper Presentations: we have a template for discussion questions (and some tips on leading/participating in paper discussions) here. You can ask discussion questions on slack and anonymous questions for discussion here.
- See the first set of lecture slides (link coming soon) for more details.
