For each assigned paper on the scheduled not marked, you should write a brief paper review including answers to the following questions:
- In your opinion, what was the most significant insight you got from the paper?
- What evidence does the paper have to support this insight? (For example: what kind of evidence is it? how did the authors obtain this evidence? what does the evidence actually indicate?)
- What is the weakest part of the paper or how could the paper be improved?
- The topic you would most like to see discussed in class, if any.
Answers need not be in the form of complete sentences; for example a list of bullet points would be acceptable.
Generally, the best way to answer these questions will be something written in your own words. If you do quote from the paper, you must make it clear that you are doing so.
