1.2 Expectations
Every student will present two themes.
The development of a theme proceeds in three stages. First, you must articulate an interest in several well-defined themes. Usually, interest in three to four themes suffices for the course. For sample topics see the topic column in the professor portion of the Lectures section. You may want to focus yours a bit more.
You will jointly decide with the instructor what to present.
Second, you will develop a summary (three to five paragraphs) and a bibliography for each theme. Based on these materials, you will then formulate an outline for a 90-minute lecture (2x 45 mins) and get it "blessed" by the instructor.
Third, you will deliver the lecture. Your peers will write structured reviews on both the content and the delivery.

1.4 Communication
I will arrange for massive office hours on the relevant due dates. If you need to communicate with me on other days, just stop by my office. Even if I don’t have time then, we will agree on some slot.
My email is matthias@ccs.neu.edu. Email to northeastern.edu often goes into my Junk Mail folder, and I won’t see it.
