Organization

When & Where: Tuesdays 10:15 @ ETZ G 91
First seminar: 20.02.2018
Last seminar: 29.05.2018
Coordinators: Roger Wattenhofer & Pankaj Khanchandani

As a seminar participant, you are invited to attend all the talks and make a presentation. Your presentation should be in English. The presentation should last 45 minutes plus about 15 minutes of discussion.

Presentation & Discussion

The seminar will be exciting if the presentations are exciting. Here is a 2 page guideline how to do a great scientific presentation. Here are some additional guidelines: 1, 2 and 3.

We further expect the presentation to motivate a lively discussion. We encourage discussions during and after the presentations as a main objective of this seminar. It may help discussions if you also try to be critical about the presented work. These are all scientific papers, but if you have been in science long enough...

Grade

Your grade will mostly depend on your presentation. In addition, we also grade how actively you participate in the discussions throughout the whole semester.

How To Sign Up

There will be one presentation per week, so there is a limited number of slots (topics) that can be presented (this year: 13). Therefore, we encourage you to contact Pankaj Khanchandani and the mentor corresponding to your favorite topic as early as possible to claim your presentation slot. Below we will have a series of suggested papers (or groups of papers) which will be assigned on a first-come-first-serve basis.

After You Signed Up

We established the following rules to ensure a high quality of the talks and hope that these will result in a good grade for you:

• At least 5 weeks before your talk: first meeting with your mentor (you need to read the assigned literature before this meeting).
• At least 3 weeks before your talk: meet your mentor to discuss the structure of your talk.
• At least 1 week before your talk: give the talk in front of your mentor who will provide feedback.
• At the presentation date we expect an electronic copy of your slides.
