Thoughts on Supplementary Papers

More discussion between the presenters and the class would have been interesting and given the class more of a reason to become engaged in the presentation. The presenters could ask questions of the class or vice versa. Or you could seed the discussion with a few questions or observations on your own. Basically, I think this class has a lot more room for open discussion of the topics, not just presentation of ideas.

Ideally we should critque the ideas presented to us, not just absorb them without thinking.

And David Liddle did not make me write this... :-) I just happen to like the style in his class - more discussion and less presentation. And the class is smaller so this might work better than in his class (CS147).

On the other hand, we have more material to cover, and those discussions can take time out of the schedule you want to use for other things.
