attend most (if not all) of the talks; in other words, you may miss at most three presentations (14 are scheduled this semester and you will be considered absent if you miss more than 5 minutes of a presentation),
actively contribute to the discussions (at least three good questions have to be asked).
Students must send a title and an abstract for their talk to the instructors at least two weeks prior to its scheduled date.
Each presentation should take approximately 15 minutes followed by a Q&A session of 5 minutes.
The course presentation schedule is available below. Please inform us immediately if you have any problem with it. Unfortunately, you can only change your slot by switching with somebody else.
Course Information
Graduate students present seminars on their ongoing research work (work in progress).
Students registered in the Graduate Program in Computer Engineering Department are eligible to take this course. Students will usually take it after having spent some time doing research and just prior to defending their thesis.
The objective is to provide a forum for the communication of current research conducted in our department.
It also aims to give the students the opportunity to discuss their research in a public forum and to improve their oral presentation style.
Grading for this course will be pass/fail. A passing grade can be obtained by sufficient attendance, a successful presentation, and active participation.
The seminar topic must be related to the current research of the student. The student is responsible for submitting a title and abstract to the coordinators two weeks prior to his/her presentation, and for informing their supervisor about the time & date of the talk. Supervisors are expected to attend their student's presentation.
