For the reviewer feedback, please select two paper proposals that you’d like to review by entering your name in one of the two columns “Feedback {1|2} Proposal” in the presentation schedule table on the Blackboard Wiki. Create a new page with your feedback, and link it to your name in the table. We’ll keep the feedback for the proposal informal; for the draft and final versions, I’ll have a template (it is posted on the Wiki; a link is at the bottom of the overview table for the paper and presentation). You should look at the following issues for the proposal:

• Scope: Does the paper address a broad, general, or a narrow, specific topic? (Either way is fine, but it should be evident from the proposal)
• Relevance: Does the proposed topic appear to be relevant for the overall context of this class?
• Significance: How important is the work reported? Does it tackle an important/difficult problem (as opposed to a peripheral/simple one)?
• Understandability: Do the title and abstract convey a sense of what the paper will be about?
• Background: Is there an indication of existing and related work that appears to be relevant for the topic? Are references given to sources for that work?
