Course Information

Course Number: CMSC 199
Course Title: Undergraduate Seminar
Prerequisites: COI
Lecture: Section C2, 10-11 M, ICS LH4

Aim

The aim of this course is to introduce students to the basic research methods in Computer Science.

Objectives

At the end of this course the students should be able to:

read, analyze, and evaluate published research papers in Computer Science;
write a review paper;
orally present a research paper.

Mechanics

The student will select a research paper to study from this list of journals. The papers may be survey papers or full research papers. Make sure though that the research paper has not been presented in the past. Students will have to write a review paper plus orally present the research paper assigned on a designated date. All students in a section should read the research paper to be presented and submit three (3) questions after the presentation. This ensures that the students also read the other papers, not just the paper assigned to them. There will be two (2) presenters each week which means that six (6) questions will be submitted by each student.

The due date of the deliverables(review paper, slides, and seminar announcement) for all students will be on Meeting #5. If a student failed to submit the deliverables, automatically he/she gets a U.
