Grading:

1. Midterm Written Exam (40%)
2. Presentation and report (60%)

• Presentation (40minutes, 45%)
  Students should prepare power-point slides from the paper assigned in the beginning of this course, and present them in a way that is understandable to their classmates. The suggested format is 30 min for presentation and 10 min for answering questions from the audience.
• Report (at most two pages, 15%)
  Students should write a report on:
  1) The paper assigned in the beginning of this course, including a) synopsis of the paper and b) what can be further studied from this paper.
  2) Afterthoughts and feedbacks about your presentation and the whole course.
