CS 371 ScheduleReadings and presentation slides are in the table below.

Please note: Students are expected to read the main papers before each class, but the additional papers are optional. Presenters and critiquers are expected to read both the main papers and additional papers listed for their topic.

Also note: The number (1 or 2) before the critiquer's name specifies which main paper has been assigned. Students should submit critiques on the corresponding assignment page on Canvas before the paper is presented in class.
