CSE 292: Lecture Series in CSE

Fall Quarter, 2007

General Information

• Facilitator: Sorin Lerner
• Meeting times: Mondays 11 am, location: EBU3B 1202

Course Requirements

This course consists of a set of lectures, most of which are from inside our department. Some of the lectures, however, will be special outside speakers who will be here as part of the Distinguished lecture series.

In this course, you will be required to write a review for each talk. This course is pass/fail. You will be graded on the quality of your reviews. Reviews:

• should be at most 100 words. If it's longer than 100 words, I won't read past the 100th word. It is important for you to learn how to present your ideas in crisp, concise sentences.
• should be in bullet form, with exactly three bullets:
  1. the first bullet should summarize the talk in one sentence
  2. the second bullet should identify the coolest/neatest aspect of this talk (ie: what did you like the most in the talk?)
  3. the third bullet should identify a new idea for future research related to the ideas presented in the talk. By new, I mean that the idea was not mentioned during the talk. This is very important, because it will train you in thinking about research and research ideas.
