Class meetings marked as "overview" will be lecture-focused, providing background material to help contextualize the topic. "Discussion" meetings will be highly interactive discussions centered on the required readings.

Please be sure to read the assigned paper before class. Most papers link into the ACM or IEEE library - you can sign in to those services using your Northeastern login (select "Sign in with institutional credentials" and then select Northeastern). Note that for the ACM library, you can create an ACM account and then link it to your Northeastern ID ("My Profile" -> "Institutional Affiliations") so that you can stay logged in and not need to go through Duo every time that you would like to read a paper.
