For new students, How to Write a Weekly Report Update

Materials › Weekly report

This is the template every student uses to report to me. We expect one slide deck per week, with the four sections below.

1. What has been done last week

2. Five papers I have read last week

One entry per paper, each covering:

• Title — with a link.
• What is the paper about? — one sentence.
• Novelty of this paper — one sentence.
• Strengths and weaknesses — one bullet point each.
• Similarity to our work — one sentence.
• Difference from our work — one sentence.

3. How does last week’s work affect or change the position of our current work?

Go through all four:

1. Problem / challenge / gap
2. Novelty
3. Contribution
4. Solution

4. Todos for next week
