[Grad2022] [Turnbull Zemi] Schedule for individual consultation

[Stephen J. Turnbull]

Hi all,

I want to confirm that there will be Zemi tomorrow:

02/11 (F) 13:30-17:00  150分   ゼミ

as proposed earlier.  Graduating students should attend and comment on
the presentations.  I will decide order of presentation and announce
it in the morning.

For the presentation practice you *must* have a powerpoint
presentation containing

1.  A properly formatted title page, presenting your title, your name,
    your student ID number, my name as advisor, your advisory group,
    and the date of presentation (not necessarily in that order).
2.  A "background" slide explaining why your research is interesting
    and important.
3.  * A "literature review" slide, explaining the history of research
    leading to your theme.  Where possible you should include three
    papers:
    a.  a famous "seminal" paper which started the research area
    b.  a "methodolody" paper which is the most well-developed
        explanation of the methodology you will use in your research.
    c.  a "departure" paper which is your starting point, the paper
        which is closest to the research you plan to do.
    These papers are not necessarily different, especially at this
    stage.  Most often, this is a good place to explain your
    originality.  Sometimes the "research question" or "plan" slide is
    better.
4.  * A "research question" slide which describes the specific
    problems you wish to solve.  Typical research questions involve
    measuring the strength of a relationship, testing whether a
    relationship exists, and determining the nature of equilibrium in
    a theoretical model (dependence on parameters, efficiency, etc).
5.  A "plan" slide explaining your research methodology.
    * You should have a model (and you will need a model for the
    presentation on the 14th).  Remember that a model is not
    necessarily an equation or diagram.  It is a cause-and-effect
    explanation of why something happens.
6.  * A "schedule" slide presenting when various activities will
    happen (data collection, estimation, writing, presentations, paper
    submission, etc, etc).
7.  A properly formatted list of at least 5 references, 10 would be
    nice.

The outline above is an extended version of the outline given
earlier.  Give special attention to new text prefixed with "*".
