209S Seminar in Informatics (2). Current research and research trends
in Informatics. Forum for presentation and criticism by students of
research work in progress. May be repeated for credit. Formerly ICS 229.
This particular incarnation of
the seminar will focus on ideas. Specifically, each week everyone
is expected to bring to the table a new idea that pertains to
Informatics research. Each week, we will hear brief synopses of
all ideas and choose one or two for extensive discussion. The goal
is to hone our abilities to critically examine ideas, to learn to be
supportive even if we are skeptical, to gain an understanding of what
we consider good and bad research ideas, and to illustrate the role
of a group in furthering ideas.
All students are expected to attend all seminars (attendance will be
taken). During the first hour of our weekly meeting we will proceed
per the above. During the second hour we will join the rest of the
Informatics Department in the Friday Research Hour. That hour will
be devoted to faculty research talks, open discussions, panels, and
other activities still to be determined.
All students enrolled in the course will earn a grade based upon: (a)
a weekly one-page write-up of their idea, (b) class attendance, and (c)
class participation.
