Don't simply reiterate what is in the paper

Assume that everyone has read the paper and therefore critique the paper

Read the paper several times and then plan the presentation,

stress the most important ideas Give EXAMPLES WITH FIGURES possibly with overlays to build the example complexity

Discuss the implications of any key ideas or of the main results

Create examples that CLARIFY difficult or key ideas TEACH the rest of us the concept

Compare and contrast to other work especially other papers previously read in this course Papers were chosen so that comparisons are possible

Identify any particularly good experimental approach

Stress key performance data

Identify the holes and disadvantages of the work This is a major part of your critique

Identify open research problems

Possibly read related papers and search the WEB so that you are more of an expert on that work than the rest of the class

Get  feedback from lecturer on your presentation BEFORE you give it
