CSE 8317 (Fall, 2003): Software Reliability and Safety
Information about Student Presentations
-
As I mentioned in the course syllabus, active participation is of
critical importance to this course.
For every homework assignment, and for the course project,
you need to be prepared to briefly described it in class.
In addition, some formal or full presentations are expected
of every student, as described below.
-
Every student must make at least one of the following full presentations:
-
An individual study presentation about a paper related to SRE,
SSE, or the analysis techniques.
All the presentations
must be done on or before 11/3/06.
The choices of presentation topics include:
- Articles/chapters you studied for your hw#1.
- Papers you studied as part of your hw#2 or hw#3.
- Other papers, with approval of instructor.
- Selected book chapters
from Lyu/SREhandbook etc., with approval of instructor.
Be sure to let me know of your choices as early as possible and
get the approval.
Normally we want to avoid multiple presentations of the same paper/chapter.
-
A project presentation on 11/18/06 (or 11/3/06, if you can).
-
Of course you are welcome to make both an individual study presentation
and a project presentation,
especially for our small class this semester with everyone in class
(unlike my other classes with typically the majority being distance
students).
However, if you choose to do only one, my suggestion is as follows:
-
If you choose an application type of project,
I'd prefer that you do a project presentation instead of an individual
study presentation,
primarily because of the new results that you are going to share with the class.
-
If you choose a term paper for your project,
I have a slight preference to have you present the individual study paper,
where you can go into more depth on a single paper.
(And,
you don't have to compete for time slots with other project presentations.)
-
Your presentation should normally last about 15 minutes.
But please give me an estimate ahead of time so I can schedule things better.
-
Try to schedule your presentation as early as possible
by sending an e-mail to me
with your presentation title, desired date, and minutes needed.
