 All of these sites should allow you to download their papers free of charge (at least for the most recent 3 years).
-In general, if a paper that you want to read is paywalled, you might find a preprint on the authors' personal website (use your Google skills). Failing that, you might still be able to access it via [[http://en.ru.is/rusb/interlibrary-loans/#tab4|RU's Inter-library Loan system]] (M.Sc. students get some number of free requests).

 Each presentation will be graded based on its content, its organization, and the clarity with which it is delivered. Any student that receives a grade of 6 or lower on their presentation will have an opportunity to improve their grade, either by presenting a different paper to the class (if open slots are available) or re-presenting the same paper to the instructor's research group, following improvements made based on instructor guidance.
-**NB:** Each student must complete their Paper Presentation to qualify for receiving a grade on the Final Report.

 ====Term Project====
-Beginning in Week 7, students will work on a research project in teams of 2 to 3. The topic of the project must be related to computational storytelling, and the project itself must focus on using AI techniques to address a particular challenge. We will form teams on September 16 (Week 5) following an in-class Idea Jam, during which everyone will propose and discuss several ideas for potential term projects. Each team will propose a project via written hand-in, and, upon its approval by the instructor, work to complete their project for the remainder of the term. Each team's project will be evaluated in four parts: a Project Proposal (due on September 23), Project Updates from Week 7 onward, a Final Presentation (date TBA), and a Final Report in the format of a standard conference paper (due date TBA, but likely during final exams; this course has no final exam).
