Summaries

Each summary should be sent to the mailing list addresses {boehme, galeotti} AT cs.uni-saarland.de by Tuesday 11:59pm.

You can find a sample summary here, together with some suggestions on how to write a summary.

Feedback

At the end of each discussion session we will provide feedback on your summaries and suggestions on how to improve. On top of that, we will also provide a mini grade which will either be a
  • + Very well done summary, and interesting questions
  • 0 Good summary. Fulfills all the requirements
  • - Summary is lacking important aspects. Should be improved
Students are encouraged to volunteer to summarize and present a 5 minutes talk on a paper to get feedback on their presentation style. Please inform us at least one day before the meeting if you decide to do so.
