  8. “Howto“s • We recommend the excellent book Zobel, J. (2004). Writing for Computer Science. Springer. 2nd edition. www.justinzobel.com • In addition, we have hints on • how you can / should approach your „presenter-role“ task • how you should review other‘s work ( refereeing, here: “co-presenter“ role) • how we will evaluate your work

  9. B. Berendt‘s “Howto“s on • Approaching the presenter role • reading (selecting sources) http://vasarely.wiwi.hu-berlin.de/lehre/General/scientific_writing.html • reading (already selected sources) – from Zobel http://vasarely.wiwi.hu-berlin.de/lehre/2004s/kaw/Working_with_scientific_literature.html • writing: http://vasarely.wiwi.hu-berlin.de/lehre/General/guidelines.html • how you should review other‘s work ( refereeing, here: “co-presenter“ role) • http://www.cs.kuleuven.be/~berendt/teaching/2009-10-2ndsemester/ctdb/co-presenters.html • refereeing other work– from Zobel Chapter 10 on Refereeing (photocopies linked in Toledo) • giving feedback on oral presentations http://vasarely.wiwi.hu-berlin.de/lehre/feedback_agents.html • how I will evaluate your work • see “writing“ above (PS: Please ignore the concrete tasks on these pages, these do not apply here)
