Notes on reading papers: Everyone must read the assigned papers before class time. A discussion leader will be assigned for each paper. For their assigned paper, this person should: prepare a summary of salient points found in the paper open the discussion on these points if no one responds, provide opinions on these points compare/contrast this paper to other similar papers Discussion of papers counts as your "participation" score in class and could make the difference in final letter grade. Pay attention to: Goals/objectives Background/summary Theories/Hypotheses Experimental Methodology apparatus subjects experimental design analysis Results Discussion Conclusion(s) Keep in mind: Who are the significant contributors to research? Where are they located? What have they contributed, why is it important?
