Learning Outcomes

In this seminar, students will be introduced to an advanced topic in data management (e.g., data cleaning). Students will learn how to critically read scientific materials drawn from the database and information systems literature. Students will also learn about the core elements of a technical presentation and have an opportunity to sharpen their critical thinking skills. Furthermore, students will learn how to write a technical report.

Content

During the initial weeks, students will be offered lectures on the core elements of a technical presentation, how to offer an effective presentation, how to critically read scientific papers, and how to write a technical report. In addition, each seminar participant will be assigned a scientific topic as well as reading materials (e.g., drawn from a textbook on advanced data management, database systems, or data science technologies and systems). In the subsequent weeks, each student will read their assigned reading materials and study them deeply, in order to assemble and deliver their own presentation. Moreover, each week, students will be required to reflect on the main challenges addressed in each of their peers' presentations. (Details will be announced in the class.)

Description of Teaching and Learning Methods

This seminar is an introduction to advanced topics. In the initial lectures, we will motivate scientific topics and offer advice on how to create and deliver a good scientific presentation. In the subsequent weeks, one student will offer a detailed presentation on their previously assigned topic, and the rest of the seminar participants will briefly discuss a specific aspect of the topic. In addition, students will write a technical report that reflects the state-of-the-art on their assigned topic (e.g., via literature search and analysis).
