== William's Idea == One idea is for students write up K reviews of a recent paper (say last two years) related to ASM. The format review would be like a conference paper review - summary, strengths and weaknesses and possible impact - and a recommendation for whether or not to assign the paper as required/optional reading in later classes. The reviews would not be published to the class. For each paper reviewed, we'd set up a class-accessible wiki page where users would record a "study plan" - what background materiel they needed to read, or would recommend for others. I'm thinking we'd keep this simple, as an indented list with links and annotation, but use structured links to link it to a page for the paper reviewed, so you could find it. For instance a "study plan" might be: Study plan for [[user:wcohen]]'s review of [[Pang et al, ACL 2003]]: * I read [[Turney, ACL 2002]] for background, since the paper discusses this for motivation. * I read [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Support_vector_machine the wikipedia page for SVMs] for background. * * I read about what a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_kernel linear kernel] is to help understand the SVM page. The constraint would be: only include things that were useful as 'prerequisites', use an indented list to indicate the dependencies, and have only one link per line. You'd be encouraged to link to pages in the class wiki or wikipedia if you can, otherwise to an ACM DL or ACL DL link, otherwise to anything. We could extract some maybe-useful data from this - or at least, get an idea if students find it useful to have such data. The goal would be to make it easier for later students to do reviews. To encourage this, you would get some sort of partial credit for a writeup that made use of someone else's study plan, and would get some partial credit if someone else used one of your study plans. The idea is partially motivated by the [http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~wcohen/postscript/naacl-ws-2012-partha.pdf research problem of learning prerequisites] === Give feedback on this idea === Give us your feedback - will this work? Just add some text here. You can sign it with four ~'s in a row, which will look this: [[User:Wcohen|Wcohen]] 21:13, 10 September 2012 (UTC) == Add another idea == What sort of assigments would you design? Remember, the constraints are * Students collectively create something useful * Completing the project moves you toward understanding an area that you might do a project on.
