Information about Paper Summaries

• Follow the instructions.
• I will mark a random subset of the paper summaries
  (i.e., I will pick some of the papers at random and mark all summaries written for that paper).
• I will mark at least one of the first papers or two to provide feedback early on.
• Follow the instructions and guidelines provided.
• You must bring printed summaries to class with you.
• You need all summaries as your ticket to get into class. If you are missing a print out of your summary you don't get into class. This ensures that everyone reads the papers, including those who are not taking the course for credit.
• If you are going to miss class mail me your summaries before class starts.
• Follow the guidelines provided.
  • 3/4 of a page means 3/4 of a page. One line over and you get a grade of 0.
  • 3 bullet points means 3 (not 0, 1, or 2)
• Grades will be:
  • 0 - very poorly done, and/or guidelines not followed
  • 1 - poorly done, missing some points, lots of spelling/grammar mistakes
  • 2 - fairly well done but missing a key point or minor spelling/grammar problems
  • 3 - very well done
• An example of what a summary might look like (somewhat fake)
