Formal requirements
The length of the paper should be roughly 10 pages. Do not pad your paper unnecessarily to reach that length – if you deem your paper to be complete but it ends up shorter than 10 pages, talk it over with your advisor.
The duration of the talk should be 30–35 minutes and must not exceed 40 minutes. If you exceed your time, you may be cut off abruptly by the session chair. Therefore, it is recommended that you rehearse your talk at least once and make adjustments if it is too long or too short.
Reviews, presentations, and papers must be in English.
There are no strict requirements on the form of the paper or slides. No template will be provided.
Peer Reviews
Each student will receive two(ish) drafts of other students’ papers to review.
Reviewers will receive these drafts as soon as they are handed in.
The main focus of the reviews should be the content and the presentation of the papers. Does it make sense? Is it well-structured? Is it understandable to someone who has not read the source material?
Reviewers are not expected to read the cited source material.
Spelling and grammar may be mentioned, but are less important.
Reviewers need not write a summary of the reviewed topic.
Reviews should be roughly one page long.
Reviewers may freely decide whether to use full sentences or bullet points.
