Writing paper summaries (CSE 262, Spring 2011)

Keeping a record of the papers you read is a good practice, and will help prepare you for the research exam, and save time when you need to quickly locate or re-read a paper.

In addition to summarizing the basic facts, your summary should

• discuss the contributions of the paper, reflecting, analyzing or criticizing the ideas presented
• offer insight into the authors' motivation
• explore open issues or ideas that you are wondering about after reading the paper
