FINAL PRESENTATIONS AND REFEREE REPORTS

Remember that final presentations have two parts:

1. You have to present your chosen paper in class. Maximum time for presentation is 40 minutes. We will have some time for questions and comments.

2. You have to write a referee report on the paper. The referee report should include a brief summary of the paper and your opinion about it. It is crucial to point out which are, in your opinion, the strengths and weaknesses of the paper. This is what a referee report is supposed to do. The deadline for the referee report is December 21.
