seminar topics

13
Seminar Reports
•For each selected topic, a 300-word report:

week
• 100 words for critical reflection on the provided material
• 100 words for further research
•After the last seminar, submit a merged report
14
Assessment of Seminar Reports
•For each report,
• [0-1] Only summary of provided material; no critical
reflection
• [1-2] Good summary of provided material with critical
reflection
• [2-3] Good summary of provided material with strong
critical reflection; goes beyond the provided material
with further ideas and questions
15
Summary
• General structure:
• Aim, context
• Methodology: e.g. empirical experiments, AI, or other
computational method
• Significant results
• No need to cite (or repeat the names of) provided papers
• Common: don’t use any direct quotes from the material,
instead always use your own words to rephrase
16
Critical Reflection
• Don’t repeat their results
• Either:
• Describe one limitation and your proposed solution (don't use one of
theirs), or
• One good aspect and why you think that is good (not their justification)
• Common: focus only on a limitation, but not provide a solution
• “They focused on X, where more things could be done“
• Give an example of those "more things"

17
Further reading
• Structure similar to critical reflection
• What did you learn new that was not in the provided material?
• How does it connect to the topic?
• If you only provide a citation and write one sentence, you
won't get any marks
• There is a reason the whole report is divided into three
equal parts
• Common: forget to cite the additional material

18
Assessment 2: Group Wiki
• Set: Week 13 – Monday
• Due: Week 18 – Monday
• Group work: you can form your own group
• 4-5 people from the same seminar group
• Topic selection:
• List will appear on Moodle (before Week 13)
• Give three preferences for your group
• Same topic cannot be picked by multiple groups
• Good practice to check each others’ contributions
19
Wiki Content

•An analysis with potential computing, ethics,
privacy, and legal implications (both positive and
negative)
•Questions for further thought (some hints about
how to address them)
