Class meetings will usually include a presentation by a student of
(an) assigned chapter(s) or paper(s). These presentations are normally
expected to run 50-60 minutes plus discussion, that is, a class
period (though occasionally some will be shorter; presenters will be
notified in advance). When you are scheduled to present, be sure to
address at least the following issues as applied to your assigned
material:
- coverage of content (prioritize if necessary)
- connection to forensic software engineering (is it about
software itself, or an industry in which software plays a role, or
does it provide a model or theory useful in the development of FSE,
etc.?)
- implications for how we study failure, investigate accidents,
or should improve the software process
In addition, you must provide discussion leadership, that is, you must
drive the discussion though statements and questions that enable your
audience to participate, gain the exposure and understanding you want
them to gain, and ideally generate insights benefiting the entire
class.
Within 48 hours following your presentation, you must further
provide a 200-300 word abstract-style summary
highlighting the main points of value as well as insights
contributed or arrived at by the class. This summary may be
emailed in ASCII and will be posted on the webpage. Your slides
should also be submitted and will be posted as well.
Presentations cumulatively account for 25% of your course grade.
Participation when you are not presenting accounts for 15% of your
course grade.
