Participation |

It should be intuitive to you that classroom participation is the key to the success of a course. Please help me make this course better by giving me your input in class and also outside of classroom. I would really appreciate it if you could all actively participate in classroom activities and discussions. |

Summaries |
25% |
You are required to attend at least 6 talks throughout the semester, at least two of which need to be in the field of phonetics/psycholinguistics/computational linguistics, and at least two of which need to be in the field of syntax/semantics/pragmatics. You may choose whichever talks you are interested in. Notice that even for topics/subfields that you are not particularly interested in, you can still learn a lot from the speakers, e.g., the presentation style, the overall organization, etc. For each of the talks you attended, you are required to submit a one-page, typed, single-spaced summary. The summary should be no more than 300 words. You should NOT copy directly from the abstract/handout/Powerpoint provided by the speakers, but should instead try to digest as much as you can and come up with a summary on your own. You are especially encouraged to focus on the methodology of the research. All summaries should be handed in a week after the talk by 5:00 pm. Otherwise, they will be regarded as late. 10% of the grades will be deducted for each late day. The last summary to be turned in should be no later than 6/17. |
