Homework Assignments |

|
Homework 1 due Sunday, Feb 5 |
| |
|
submit critiques before class on Thursday, Feb 9 ( 2 out of 4 papers from the "Research Papers" list below) |
| |
Sample Critique and Oral Presentation |
|
|
Here is a sample critique and
sample oral presentation
for the paper Statistical Color Models
with Applications to Skin Detection, by Jones and Rehg. For reference, here
were the
critique instructions and
presentation instructions from
our introductory class lecture. Cavaet: the sample critique I've written would
most likely receive a "check" in our check-minus, check, check-plus grading system. However,
if you are trying for a check-plus, please don't go overboard... for example, \
keep the length to no more than 2 pages.
