Grading

Score = (2 x Paper Presentations + 2 x Seminars + 2 x Term Paper + Paper Reviews) / 7

APPROVED

(Presence >= 75%) AND (Score >= 6)

SUPPLEMENTARY TEST

(Undergrad Student) AND (Presence >= 75%) AND (4 <= Score < 6)

Groups

All activities can be performed in groups of two for undergrad students. Groups should be established in the first week and remain the same until the end of the course. All grad students (MS and Ph.D.) should perform all activities individually.

Paper Presentations

One class per week (check schedule section) is dedicated to the presentation of papers read during the week (around 30 minutes), followed by questions and discussions. All students are supposed to read all papers, but only a predefined student/group presents each paper. By the end of the presentation, all students are supposed to ask questions and discuss about the paper. Usually, each student/group present a total of 2 to 3 papers during the whole course. Please, send me the list of papers you want to present as soon as possible (list at least 5, sorted by preference). The assignment is based on a “first come, first served” strategy.

The papers are available at our Facebook group. Please, subscribe to our group to download the papers.

Term Paper

Each student/group should select a theme for the term paper in the first weeks. This term paper may reflect the application of CM in some field, the use of some technique to support CM, mining and visualization of CM repositories, or an study about some advanced CM technique. The theme should be explained to the professor before the beginning of the research.

As a result, a 8-page term paper should be written according to the SBC format. This paper should present the motivation and goal of the work, the related work, the obtained results, and final considerations.

The submission of term papers will follow a conference paper submission procedure. We will emulate a mini-conference using a real conference management software: EasyChair. Click here to submit your term paper (please, check the schedule section about the expected submission date).

Obs.: delays in the submission of term papers will be charged with 1 point per day.

Paper Reviews

As previously mentioned, we are going to simulate a conference in this course. The students will submit their term papers and also act as members of the program committee. Consequently, each student is supposed to review term papers of other three students. The reviews will not be used to grade the term papers, but to grade the capability of students in criticizing and providing deep feedback to other work.

Click here to write the reviews of papers assigned to you. Select the menu uff-cm-2014-2 and choose Change Role. Select the Review role and access the Reviews menu, clicking at My Papers. You should be able to see all papers assigned to you.

Obs.: delays in the submission of papers reviews will be charged with 1 point per day.

Seminars

The course has three moments specifically reserved to present the ongoing work (check the schedule). It is possible to use slides and whiteboard during the presentations, and each presentation should take around 20 minutes. The first seminar is dedicated to understand the context of the work and the work methodology/goals. The second seminar focuses on showing the progress of the work. At this moment some partial but concrete result should be presented. Finally, the third seminar is the final presentation of the work, and should include a deep discussion of the obtained results.

Presence

According to the Undergrad and Grad rules, the minimal presence is 75% of the classes (Art. 80, §14 and Art. 20, respectively).
