What you will learn

  • Find the one claim a paper exists to prove, and judge every section against it
  • Read equations and notation out loud, in plain words
  • Question figures: axes, scales, error bars and what is missing
  • Judge methods by their baselines and ablations
  • Learn from three real papers: one classic, one modern, one retracted
  • Check one number yourself and write a reading report others can use

Who it is for: Students who have read a few papers and want to truly understand them. Take Reading and Reviewing Papers first.
