Paper presentations

This is a combination of a group task and individual task! You will work in groups to read, discuss and prepare a presentation on a research paper. More information and a list of papers to choose from, is available in the assignment description. Download the assignment description.

The presentations will be held Tuesday May 16, 13:15-(no later than)16:00, in a number of parallel sessions, according to the schedule below. We teachers will walk around between the different rooms, but the main responsibility lies on yourselves.

Step 1: Preferred papers, deadline May 7

Fill in the following form, to indicate your preferred papers.

Step 2: Group-wise preparations

Based on your paper preferences, we will divide you into groups, where each group works on a specific paper.

Step 3: Presentation day

The presentations will take place in a number of parallel session, where you individually present your paper.

You should also rate and give feedback to all other presentations in your session, by filling this form once for each presentation. 

Chair Person

For each of the sessions, a chair person will be appointed, with the main task to keep time and interrupt presentations after 15 minutes and interrupt questions within 20 minutes from the start of the presentation. Please come in time (no "academic quarter") since the schedule is very tight!

Presentation file

Upload your presentation file (Powerpoint or PDF) here at latest the day before the presentation. It's still your own responsibility to show it during the presentation. Even if the full presentation preparation group uses the same presentation file, everybody should upload it here.

When uploading the file, describe your individual contributions to the presentation preparations, as a submission comment.
