This course consists of weekly seminar presentations given by postgraduate students, faculty, and guest speakers on a wide range of IoT-related research problems. Students taking this course are expcted to gain better abilities to read and understand research papers, develop critical thinking to evaluate the topics and approaches of the papers, and improve their cababilities of technical writing and presentation.
Course format:
A total of 12 seminars (not include the first meeting).
A list of IoT-related research papers, divided into sub-topics, will be selected and maintained by IoT faculties (see below).
For each seminar, two students sign up for being the leaders. Each leader selects one paper from the list to present (by the beginning of second meeting). A leader student can also pick a paper of his/her own interest that is not on the list, upon the approval of the instructor.
Each student (including the leader) is required to read and write a one-page summary about one paper to be presented in class, and raise at least one question about the paper. The summary and questions are due right before class.
The leader will prepare a 15 mins presentation about the chosen paper to give during the seminar, followed by 10 mins Q&A.
Grading:
P/F based on attendence and assignment submission (present at least 1 paper as the leader, attend at least 9 semimars, and skip at most 2 summaries).
