Each student
will be assigned 5-7 papers to review over the course of
the term. There is a plain text review form (available via the above
link) which should be used for all reviews.
When completing
your review, pay particular attention to the section
that asks you to summarize the paper's contributions and to justify
your rating of the paper. State what you consider to be the main
contributions of the paper, and summarize your rationale for your
ratings. Keep the whole thing short: two short paragraphs is the upper
limit. Think of this section as an "executive summary" of both the
paper and your review of the paper. Any additional detail belongs in
the final section of the review, which can be as long and as detailed
as necessary.
Reviews are due
by 10:00am on the day in which the corresponding paper
is being discussed in class. Email your completed review to the
instructor as a plain
text file
attachment.
Do not cut-and-paste or otherwise in-line your
review into the body of your message.
