Each topic in the syllabus contains a list of references.
The list will be updated during the quarter, so please keep an eye on it.
I will devote lectures to cover a subset of those references and background.
You are expected to read them as well. We will devote part of each lecture to
remarks/questions from the audience.
Some of the references will be indicated as ‘complements.’ This will be for students
presentations.
In order to get credit for this class, you will be required to do one of the following
(I will create sign up forms on canvas):
Give a 30 minte presentation on a paper during the quarter (can be done jointly by 2 students)
Scribe one lecture.
Grades will be assigned on the basis of: (i) Class participation; (ii) Presentation or scribing.
