This graduate seminar course is project oriented. Students choose a topic for a project and work on that project throughout the semester. In addition, the state of the art in the choosen topics will be explored in a series of paper presentations. Each student will present one or several research or survey papers from the literature. |

Grading: |
While most of the time will be spend on project work, I expect that every student presents two papers during the seminar and I also expect the others to actively participate during the presentation and discussion. In concrete terms, I plan the following grading scheme:
Quite some emphasis is on the project (70%) and especially and the successful realization of the project work (40%). So choosing the right project is of course crucial. I will select papers that are related to the projects people will be working on. The project report should be structured like a normal research paper with an abstract, an introduction and motivation and problem statement, the description of the work carried out, a section on related work, an conclusions. The length should about 15-20 pages if you use a standard page layout or shorter in case you use a more space efficient IEEE two-column format. |
