Please send us an email by May 20th with your two preferred papers from the reading list. We will then assign you a paper for your report, which will be due on July 7th.

Your referee report should contain a short summary of the paper (less than one page), an overall evaluation of the paper and a description of its weaknesses and shortcomings. Finally, you should provide some idea(s) how the paper could be improved/extended.
