17-791 Software Engineering Seminar
3 units, Carnegie Mellon University
The Software Research Seminar SSSG at CMU relies on active participation and a supportive community to help students broaden their understanding of software research and hone their presentation skills. This document briefly outlines our expectations for Software Engineering Ph.D. students with respect to SSSG. General Expectations A. Attend both SSSG presentations each week. B. Participate by asking questions, contributing to the discussion, and giving constructive verbal and written feedback to presenters. Using an electronic device for purposes other than notetaking or feedback on the presentation is considered to be nonparticipation. C. Give 3 wellprepared SSSG talks per year 2 if giving an approved talk in an outside venue The faculty recognizes that students may occasionally have conflicts with particular SSSG dates in these cases the Reasonable Person Principle applies. There may occasionally be a systematic conflict, such as an overlapping course, in which case advance approval should be arranged with advisor and PhD Program Director but not more than once for any student. In the rare case when a students participation or presentations falls significantly below expectations, the faculty will require remedial action appropriate to the student. The Seminar is offered for graduate credit, is repeatable, and is intended to be an ongoing activity. PhD students in software engineering are required to register for this seminar on an ongoing basis, and all other graduate students are encouraged to attend.
