Computing Science Seminar Report

For projects it is useful to learn how to summarise presentations and to see other people's presentation style. The prescribed classes for CSC9Z7/99** therefore include attendance at Computing Science seminars, and writing a short report on them. This is not an onerous task since each student is obliged to attend and summarise just one seminar during the year. Of course everyone is encouraged to attend other seminars too!

• the key points of the seminar (e.g. the main claims or results)
• the implications of the work (e.g. industrial or academic relevance, possible applications of the work, potential future developments)

The report can be informal, e.g. using bullet points rather than connected prose. It can be composed using email or with a word processor. If you need some idea of what to write, look at a sample seminar report; this is merely an example, not a model. The report is compulsory but is not assessed. The Project Coordinator will not normally comment on the report unless it is sub-standard.
