CS 549 NANOROBOTICS - Spring 2008
Course Organization
*** This page is now final for the Spring 2008 course. ***
The classes will be a mix of lectures by the instructor and student presentations. Classes are 1 hour and 15 min long. In a typical class we will have one presentation, about 1 hour long, followed by 15 min of discussion. The last class will consist of student project presentations.
Each week there will be assigned readings. All students are expected to read the material ahead of the class and be prepared to discuss it in class. A 12-point font, one-sheet summary and critique of the assigned material is due from each student at the beginning of the class. One summary per presentation will be required. You don't need to submit a summary for a paper you are presenting. These summaries will be graded as acceptable/non-acceptable. Longer summaries will be returned with a non-acceptable grade. Summaries submitted late will be graded non-acceptable. The summaries should attempt to distill the most interesting ideas in the readings, point out strong and weak points in the material and relate it to the rest of the course. Sometimes several papers are assigned for a single presentation. Then a single summary is required for the presentation (not for the individual papers), and students should attempt to integrate the material in the various papers rather than report on each individual paper, both in the presentations and one-sheet summaries.
Each student is expected to make one or two presentations during the course. Please select one of the topics below and let the instructor know as soon as possible.
