This subject was run by Bruce Litow in sem 1 2004.
I have to say it was pretty useful actually - it will teach you what it means to be a researcher, and review/analyse papers. Understanding the papers was usually quite difficult!

For assessment, each person had to review a discussion of a paper. It got difficult, because often no-one would read the paper..... well hey; they were pretty long. However, even just by reading the abstract, intro and conclusion, you could useally contribute something to the discussion. Sometimes I could even pipe in saying something like: these diagrams weren't very clear...

For the paper I had to write a discussion for I wrote a summary of the paper, just so I knew I understood most of it. Helped a little bit too... not as much as I hoped - no-one had read my paper... often I'd just ask Bruce questions, and hope he'd fill in time.  ;)

Not much in this directory, mabye something will help a bit?.... probably not.

Anyhow; good luck with it!
