Writing paper reviews

It is important to do the reading in order to actively participate in discussions.  Students are required to submit two paper reviews each day, Tues-Frid, from among the assigned papers.  (We'll read more each day; just choose 2 to review.)

Each review should address the following (in any order):

• Give a summary of the paper in your own words (very brief, 2-3 sentences)
• What is the main contribution of the paper?
• What are the primary strengths and weaknesses of the paper?
• How convincing are the experiments?  If something specific is lacking, what should have been tested?
• Describe one specific way in which the work could be extended.
• Additional comments, including unclear points, connections you see between the papers

Reviews are due by 9 PM the night before.  Email reviews to Kristen, pasting the text directly into your mail (no attachments, please).  Please include [Trento] in the subject header.
