Questionnaire

For the moment, at least, we'll use good old-fashioned paper forms. I suspect this will be easier for you (e.g. you can make entries during the talk), and it's probably easier for me to tabulate too.

Here's the questionnaire in postscript and in pdf

Here's presentation suggestions from the 1998 Siggraph conference.

Course Logistics

To receive credit, students must:

attend at least six "official" talks from the list above. (There will be at least nine official talks during the term, so it's not essential to go to all.)
for each attended talk, fill in the questionnaire and return it to Larry Carter within 24 hours of the talk. (Friday is OK for the first talk, since I got the questionnaire up late).
attend the one discussion session (the last week of classes).
