Guidelines for the Report

Dear all,


We have had a couple of questions from various groups regarding what should go into the report for their presentations. Obviously, we would not want you to have a copy of the material from the section of the textbook you are presenting. Here, I will give you a quick guideline of what you can put into the report:


  1. Say you present a section and the book covers that topic with a great deal of mathematical detail. Then, there is not much benefit in having the same calculations in your report as well. For such sections, we would like you to present the theorems and lemmas on a high level instead and "give some intuition" about them.
  2. If on the other hand, the results in the book are not detailed and you had to fill in the gaps in calculations yourself, then it makes sense to include your additional calculations and somehow "complete the proofs".
  3. Finally, as we have seen in the past few presentations, some groups may do some extra work to code and simulate a phenomenon that they explain in their talk. While we only see a demonstration of those extra efforts in the form of a graph or figure, the details are usually not revealed in the presentation. The report is your chance to elaborate on all the extra effort you put into preparing supplementary material for your talk.


Best,

Kamyar
