Attendance and Participation: 60%

• All attendees must sign the attendance sheet for each class.


• If you miss up to 4 classes, each missed class will result in a 5% deduction from your grade's attendance and participation portion.


• If you miss more than four classes, your maximum attendance and participation score will be capped at 20% out of the 60%. This will result in failing the course.

• Each report should include:

• 
  
  
  
  • An abstract of each selected talk.
  
  
  • Your reflections on the talk.
  
  
  • Potential research extensions inspired by the talk.
  
  
  
  

• Each report should not exceed five pages.

Research Proposal: 24%

• Choose one of your three reflection reports and expand upon it to create a detailed research proposal.

• 
  
  
  
  • An introduction that motivates your research topic.
  
  
  • A comprehensive literature review to identify existing gaps in the research.
