Course Summary Description: Computer science is a rapidly
advancing field. Over the years, the
research field of computer science has been changing dramatically, from its
initial focus on computation to many new areas such as embedded and
intelligent computing, interaction of computer with humans and with the
physical world, understanding the computational ability of the human brain,
and computation at the molecular level, etc. The goal of this seminar
course is to introduce Ph.D. students to a broad range of computer science
research. First-year Ph.D. students
are required to enroll for this course for the first 2 semesters of the Ph.D.
Program. Time and Location: Monday 12:00 - 12:50pm, OHE
122 Class Format and Evaluation: In general, a class will
consist of a lecture given by an invited speaker, each lasting 40 minutes
followed by the end 5-10 minutes for discussion and quiz. Each lecture will be a tutorial on the
given sub-area or specific topic of the speaker's research interest. There will be a set of
representative references pointed by each speaker to assist students in
gaining more understanding of the topic lectured in class. Every student is
expected to complete the assigned reading and be prepared to discuss and
question in class. In addition, there
will be a short quiz about the contents of the given lecture at the last 5
minutes of each lecture. The quiz
will be collected immediately in
the class. The students are required
to submit a one-page essay at the end of the year course to summarize the
gain from this course. Evaluation is based on:
class participation (60%), quiz (30%), and final essay (10%). Please be aware -
On-time attendance is required. To pass the class, students must obtain at
least 80% attendance. -
There will
be no opportunity for submitting
late assignment. -
All
assignments must be solved and written independently,
or you will be penalized for cheating.

Academic Integrity Policy The USC Student
Conduct Code prohibits plagiarism.
All USC students are responsible for reading and following the Student
Conduct Code. In this course we encourage students to
study and discuss together. However, all work submitted for the class is to
be done individually, unless an assignment specifies otherwise. Some examples of what is not allowed by the
conduct code: copying all or part of someone else's work, and submitting it
as your own; giving another student in the class a copy of your assignment
solution; consulting with another student during an exam. If you have
questions about what is allowed, please discuss it with the instructor. Violations of the Student Conduct Code will
be filed with the Office of Student Conduct, and appropriate
sanctions will be given. |
