Structure of the Paper Presentation
- Summarize what the paper talks about, what is its take-home-message (10-15 minutes)
- Critically feedback the writing of the paper (5 minutes), e.g.:
- They claimed something at the beginning, that they did not deliver;
- the hypothesis was clear but the experiment is not designed so it may bring fruitful data;
- the data reported, when you try to interpret them, is not supporting the discussion within the paper;
- is the experiment replicable?
- …
- Do the tutorial (rest of the seminar)
