There are only two types of assignments in this class.

1. Paper summaries (due via email, before class, the day each paper is discussed) -- a paper summary is no more than 1 page long (no more than 2 pages total for all papers for a particular day), and contains the following information: 

1. Summary of the paper [in the neighborhood of 2-3 sentences, everything else about 1 sentence each]
2. What is the most important result?
3. One strength of the paper
4. One weakness of the paper
5. One thing you didn't understand
6. If you wrote this paper, what would your next paper be about?
7. (Don't overthink this -- if a question is inappropriate for the paper, skip it.)

no late paper summaries, please.

2. Projects -- discussed elsewhere.
