Stanford University EE380
Computer Systems Colloquium Schedule
Summer   2016

EE380, the Computer Systems Colloquium, is getting a makeover as the University changes how it manages on-line classes. Videos are now encoded using HTML5 which should make them much more friendly to non-Wintel computers. We also archive the EE380 talks to YouTube rather than serve them ourselves. Eventually we hope to have all of the 30+ years of Colloquium videos available on-line. The videos of EE380 lectures will be found on YouTube. All of the talkss have Abstracts, but there is no link from the the YouTube version to the Abstract. The Abstract often has a links to a copy of the slides, sometimes has links to ancillary information, and generally has a short biography. Searching on the talk's title will usually find that information. This will change in the near term and you'll be able to browse Abstracts and then click-through to the YouTube video. Over the course of the Summer Quarter the interface may be improved. The Summer EE380 Computer Systems Colloquium is offered as a one unit web-hosted S/NC graded class during the summer using video lectures from our backlist. There will be no class meetings. We think of the course as "summer reruns" with presenting talkt that have the enduring popularity of "I Love Lucy", "Friends" "Law and Order", and "Sex and the City". The class content consists of the lectures given by invited speakers during the regular academic sessions over the past several years augmented with additional lectures from the distant past. The requirements are simple: Choose ten different lectures from the YouTube Playlists listed below. You'll need to browse the collections to find talks that interest you. Watch each of the ten videos you have selected, write and submit a short "pithy" comment about each video you watch and submit it using the web form below. A "pithy" comment is one that let's us see that you've been engaged and paying attention while listening to the video. Keep a backup copy of your comments. Fill out the EE380 specific evaluation form at the end of the quarter. Complete the work on or before 30 seconds before midnight (23:59:30) on August 15,  2015. Late work will be accepted at the whim of the instructor(s). Incomplete grades are given only in extraordinary circumstances. If you decide to drop the class because the work load is in conflict with with serious summer play (or any other reason) drop us a note so we won't chase you asking to complete the course work. If you have problems completing the coursework, please contact allison@stanford.edu immediately. Participate in the planning for the live lectures for next year. Suggestions for topics and speakers are always appreciated. An email to allison@stanford.edu works well for this task. I do not have office hours during the Summer, but I am available by email. You can reach me, Dennis Allison as allison@stanford.edu. If you put "[EE380]" as the first few characters of the subject line, your message is less likely to be treated as SPAM. There is now a single YouTube Playlist for all of EE380.      EE380 Lectures Forms to Submit Your Assignments and Evaluation Please write a short paragraph or two about each lecture you viewied, put them in a single email, and sende them to "allison@stanford.edu". Be sure to identify each lecture by the speaker's name and date originally presented. CLICK HERE to get an evaluation form for Summer 2015 EE380. THIS FORM IS WORKING AND IS REQUIRED OF ALL ENROLLED STUDENTS.
