 === Written Reviews ===
-For each paper that the class reads, each student will (individually) write and hand in a review which (1) summarizes the paper's objectives, methods, and key contributions, (2) gives a constructive critique of its content, and (3) makes some suggestions for future work.
+For each paper that the class reads, each student (except its presenter) will individually write and hand in a review which (1) summarizes the paper's objectives, methods, and key contributions, (2) gives a constructive critique of its content, and (3) makes some suggestions for future work.
-Each written review will receive one of three grades: 0 (missing or severely lacking), 0.5 (incomplete), or 1 (complete). Each review will be worth up to 2% of the final grade, for a total of 32% of the final grade. Of the 18 written reviews that each student will complete, the grades of two reviews that scored the lowest will be ignored. For example, for a student who scored  0 for one review, 0.5 for 3 reviews, 1 for 14 reviews, their total score out of 32% would be 14*1*2% + 2*0.5*2% = 30% (the 0 and one of the 0.5s would be ignored). Each review must be handed in before the reviewed paper is presented in class; each late review will receive a grade of zero.
+Each written review will receive one of three grades: 0 (missing or severely lacking), 0.5 (incomplete), or 1 (complete). Each review will be worth up to 2% of the final grade, for a total of 28% of the final grade. Of the 16 written reviews that each student will complete, the grades of two reviews that scored the lowest will be ignored. For example, for a student who scored  0 for one review, 0.5 for 3 reviews, 1 for 12 reviews, their total score out of 28% would be 12*1*2% + 2*0.5*2% = 26% (the 0 and one of the 0.5s would be ignored). Each review must be handed in before the reviewed paper is presented in class; each late review will receive a grade of zero. The presenter of a paper does not need to write a review for that paper, nor the previous paper that the class reads (to give them more time to prepare the presentation).
