office hours by appointment

Sam Wasmundt will be helping me out with the course in a variety of ways.

This is a paper reading course. We'll typically read 2 papers a week. Most will be presented by students.

I expect students to be enrolled for 2 units, s/u. To pass the class, you are expected to read the papers and come prepared to discuss, and to present at least one of the papers. Drop-ins are welcome, as long as you don't displace a registered student from a seat.

Class meets MW 5:00-6:20 in CSE 3109

I want to be open to directions the students want to take with this class, so any suggestions for papers you want to read, or specific topics you want to explore, please send them to me!
