=== TUESDAY AND THURSDAY CLASSES ===

We'll discuss four papers on Tuesday and four papers on Thursday.

[  ] Everyone should read all of the papers, submit reviews to HotCRP, and come prepared to lead or help discuss them.

Review submission site: http://volt.eecs.umich.edu/eecs582/
NOTE: I will add these papers to HotCRP by Sunday evening (you won't be able to submit your reviews until then).

For each paper paper, I've selected three students to lead the discussion (marked on the homepage):
- The first student (uniquename colored black) will present the background and summary of the paper  (target 4 minutes).
- The second student (uniquename colored green) will serve as the lead protagonist for the paper (target 4 minutes).
- The third student (uniquename colored red) will serve as the lead antagonist for the paper (target 4 minutes).

After these presentations we'll break into open discussion (target 8 minutes).

*** If you are unable to carry out your part of the discussion, then it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to:
(i) identify someone to fill in for your
(ii) let me know at least 12 hours before the class meeting.
