Course Grading⚓︎
Presentation⚓︎
Presentations can be prepared individually or in pairs:
| Format | Number of papers |
|---|---|
| Individual | 1 paper |
| Pair | 3 or more papers (topic survey) |
Presentation structure⚓︎
| Section | Points | Guiding question |
|---|---|---|
| Problem statement | 1 | What problem do the authors solve? |
| Key idea | 1 | What is the novelty of the paper? |
| Experiment | 1 | How do the authors test their hypothesis? |
| Results | 1 | Did they beat SOTA? |
| Contribution | 1 | What is the main contribution? |
| Reproducibility | 2 | Can the experiments be reproduced? Is the code available? Does it run? |
| Improvements | 2 | What could be improved in the paper? |
| Presentation quality | 1 | Slide design and overall formatting |
| Total | 10 |
Grading Formula⚓︎
The final grade consists of three components:
1. Seminar activity (questions)⚓︎
- 1 point per question asked during a seminar
- Maximum 3 activities per course
- Total: up to 3 points
2. Peer reviews⚓︎
- 1 point per review of another student's presentation
- Maximum 2 reviews per course
- Total: up to 2 points
3. Presentation (weight 7)⚓︎
Each presentation is evaluated by 3 reviewers: the mentor (L) and two peer reviewers (M, N).
The presentation score is a weighted average with the following weights:
| Reviewer | Weight |
|---|---|
| Mentor (L) | 2 |
| Peer reviewer 1 (M) | 1 |
| Peer reviewer 2 (N) | 1 |
Presentation score formula:
\[
S = \begin{cases}
0, & \text{if } w_L + w_M + w_N = 0 \\[6pt]
\dfrac{L \cdot w_L + M \cdot w_M + N \cdot w_N}{w_L + w_M + w_N}, & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases}
\]
where
\[
w_i = \begin{cases}
2, & i = L \text{ (mentor), if grade is given} \\
1, & i \in \{M, N\} \text{ (peer reviewer), if grade is given} \\
0, & \text{if grade is missing}
\end{cases}
\]
Final formula⚓︎
\[
\boxed{\;\text{Total} = \underbrace{\min(Q,\, 3)}_{\text{questions}} + \underbrace{\min(R,\, 2)}_{\text{reviews}} + \underbrace{S \times 7}_{\text{presentation}}\;}
\]
where \(Q\) — number of questions asked, \(R\) — number of peer reviews written, \(S\) — weighted average presentation score.
