Possible class projects are posted on the class webpage.
The class project assignments will be posted on February 7th. The students are expected to let the instructor know about their project preferences by no later than February 5th.
There will be two paper presentations in class starting from the next class period.

Here are the guidelines for the paper presentations:

The presentations should be prepared in a chosen software tool, powerpoint, pdf, etc. and the presentation file must be emailed to the class instructor no later than the morning of the presentation due date.
Each presenter will have 30 minutes talk time with 5-10 mins questions and answers session. However, it is upto each presenter to allow questions during the talk or hold the questions till the end of the talk. The presenter should make it clear to the audience at the beginning of the presentation.
The firs slide of the presentation should contain the title and the author of the paper being presented, the presenter's name, and other relevant information.
The presenter is expected to not only present the assigned paper, but also spend sometime on what he/she has thought of the paper (pros/cons and improvements if any) at the end of the presentation as part of the presentation slides and discussion.
The presenters are most welcome to research and refer to other related papers and include information from those papers in the presentation as long as proper citations are provided wherever possible.
If there are multiple papers are referred in the presentation, complete references (title, authors name, where published, month and year of publication, and page numbers) at the end of the presentation.
