INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRADUATE STUDENT READINGS

Each week one student will be responsible for leading the discussion of that week’s papers.  Discussion leader will be responsible (with the help of the instructor) of addressing technical issues, summarizing the methods (where appropriate) and approach used by the authors, and major conclusions by the authors. 

All students should come with (1) a question about the paper, (2) the main conclusion of the authors, and (3) a brief analysis of how well justified this conclusion is.  Students should be prepared to turn this material in at the beginning of the discussion.

Responsibility for leading the discussion will rotate weekly.
