| Most classes will be dedicated to presenting and discussing topics in computational storytelling, with each topic being grounded by an assigned reading and/or gameplay session. Before coming to each class, everyone will read the assigned paper or play the assigned game. During class, one student will present the assigned paper/game using slides and/or live demonstrations (Paper Presentation), and everyone else will hand in a Written Review of the work at the beginning of class (max 2 pages, single spaced). Guidelines for presentations and reviews will be provided. | Most classes will be dedicated to presenting and discussing topics in computational storytelling, with each topic being grounded by an assigned reading and/or gameplay session.

| Each student will present 3 of the assigned papers and/or games, using slides (and possibly demonstrations) to: 1) describe necessary background information, 2) explain and critique the technique(s) and evaluation(s) (if any) discussed in the paper, and 3) highlight any follow-up work that has been done since the assigned paper was published. Each presentation is expected to last roughly 45 minutes, followed by an in-class discussion of the assigned game/paper after a 10 minute break. | Each student will present 3* of the assigned papers and/or games, using slides (and possibly demonstrations) to: 1) describe necessary background information, 2) explain and critique the technique(s) and evaluation(s) (if any) discussed in the paper, and 3) highlight any follow-up work that has been done since the assigned work was published.

| Each presentation will be graded based on its content, its organization, and the clarity with which it is delivered. If the score of any student's third presentation is higher than one of their two earlier presentations, the lowest earlier score will be dropped and the third score will count double. For example, if Student A obtained presentation scores 8, 7, and 10 on their first, second, and third presentations, then the score from the second presentation (7) would be dropped and the 10 would be counted double (8+2*10 = 28). Meanwhile, if Student B obtained scores of 8, 10, and 7, then no scores would be dropped because the third score was the lowest (8+10+7 = 25). | Each presentation will be graded based on its content, its organization, and the clarity with which it is delivered.
