The usual class structure will begin with a 10-minute summary of the previous meetings discussions, then two student-led discussion sessions of approximately 30 minutes each, and finally a 10-minute introduction to the material to be discussed in the next meeting. Some classes will replace one or both reading discussions with additional lecture material.
Each student will lead a discussion session based on assigned readings and should prepare a 10 minute summary (5 slides) summarizing and critiquing the material leaving 20 minutes for class discussion. The discussion leader is encourage to research the work beyond the assigned paper, and to include this extra detail in their presentation. Either a PowerPoint or PDF version of the slides must be sent in to be added to the class web site. All students are expected to have read all the assigned papers before each class session. Each student should prepare their own comments and questions on each paper and be ready to discuss these in class.
