Softskills Seminar
During the seminar, the video stream is here !
This course is an obligatory course of the M2 of the Master's program “Data AI” of the Institut polytechnique de Paris - open to students of other programs as well. The purpose of this course is to train students to give scientific presentations.
Every student chooses one research paper from the list of proposed papers. The student then prepares a 20min presentation about this paper. For this purpose, she/he can request the help of the advisor of the paper (by email and/or by meeting with them). The student then gives the presentation in the allocated time slot of the Softskills seminar. Students are warmly encouraged to take into account the advice on giving good talks dispensed during the first session.
Each presentation is followed by a question-answer session, where both the students and the lecturers can ask the presenter questions about the paper. To animate this, each student is assigned to some other paper as the “devil's advocate”. In this role (which is not known to the other students), she or he prepares some questions for the presenter. However, all students are invited to participate in the question-answer session.
The course is graded with 80% presentation + 20% oral participation (including as devil's advocate).
New students can still join, write to suchanek@telecom-paris.fr.
Planning
The course takes place on Thursdays 13:30-16:30 -- always online, and sometimes in addition physically. There are 3 slots per session: 13:30, 14:30, 15:30 (allowing for the talk of 20 min, questions, and time to set up the remote video session).
