Expectations
Students will read 2-4 papers a week and write short summaries of each paper. Students are expected to attend classes
and actively participate in discussions. Each student is expected to present 1-2 papers
during the semester, which they should study thoroughly and for which they might do additional study. Students will learn to program
the Sun SPOT platform.
Finally, students will undertake a significant research project, working in groups of 4 students. At the end of the term, students will
present projects in class and prepare a written project report in the form of a
research paper.
Grading will be based on a weighted combination of class participation, paper summaries, the final project presentation, and the project report.
Lectures
Each lecture consist of the presentation of 3-4 selected papers followed by an introduction to the topic of the
following lecture. Each paper is presented by a team (group of 4 students) and 2 other teams will take the role
as opponents, i.e. preparing a few questions to stimulate the discussions along with a short written review.
Presentations are to be handed in at 16:00 on the day before presentation. Students are expected to do
at least one presentation and a couple of opposing acts during the course.
