Grading of this course
1. Midterm Written Exam (40%)
2. Presentation and report (60%)
A. Presentation (30 minutes, 45%)
Students should prepare power-point slides from the paper assigned at the
beginning of this course, and present them in a way that is understandable to
their classmates. The suggested format is 20 min for presentation and 10 min for
answering questions from the audience.
B. Report (at most two pages, 15%)
Each student should write a report on:
1) The paper assigned at the beginning of this course, including a) synopsis of
the paper and b) what can be further studied from this paper.
2) Afterthoughts and feedbacks about her/his presentation and the whole course.
