Attendance +You need to attend and actively participate in the discussion during at least 5 of the 6 sessions. If you miss more than one session you will be asked to hand in a written summary of the discussed paper(s), including your own reflections. + +### B. Presentation + +Everyone is expected to read the paper(s) before the discussion session. Hence, the goal of the presentation is to give added value, not just to summarize the paper. This can be done, for instance by: + +- Illustrating some of the key points of the paper in a simple empirical study (for instance by tweaking the toy model from the hand-in assignment in some appropriate way) +- Reproducing some numerical results from the paper and share your insights from the implementation +- Work out the details of a theoretical result in a simple special case +- Present your own interpretation/understanding of some of the results of the paper +- Try to dig a bit deeper in any other way as you see appropriate + +The presentation should be done jointly by those who are responsible for a particular session. Specifically, any student who wants to earn credits for the course needs to take an active role in the presentation. However, you are free to split the work as you like. + +The presentations should be 20-45 min, depending on how much of your own results/insights/interpretations that you want to show (i.e. primarily a summary => short presentation; a lot of "added value" => longer presentation). + + +### C.
