This document outlines key strategies for summarizing academic papers effectively, specifically in the context of participatory design. It emphasizes the importance of clearly stating the problem being addressed, the proposed solutions, and the novelty of the work. The summarization process should assume that readers are unfamiliar with the paper, requiring clarity and specificity in discussing goals, research questions, and methodologies. Furthermore, the guidelines encourage focusing on the presented work's success and potential extensions, while ensuring grammatical accuracy.

Grading • Everything is going out today! (for real) • Comments on writing • Good overall, but room for improvement
Summarizing papers • Tell the story of the paper. What’s the point? • Clearly state the problembeingaddressed • Clearly state the proposed solution/approach • What’s new or novel? (Relative to whenitwaspublished) • Summarize the work, not the paper • Assume the reader has not recentlyread the paper
Summarizing papers • Be clear and specific • What are the specific goals / research questions / hypotheses? • Is new technologyintroduced? If so, describeit • Technicalterms? Describethem • Describe the studyconducted, how resultsweremeasured, whatresultswere • Takerole of researcher • Abstract/intro/conclusion canbe a useful guide
More on reviewing papers • Discussion • Focus on the work presented. Was it successful? How could it be made more successful? How might it be extended? • OK to think of other uses or further studies, but stay focused • Focus on research over implementation questions • Some good discussion questions–but bring them up in class • Spelling and grammar matter
Next 2 weeks • Big HCI conferences! • UIST 2011, October 17-19 • ASSETS 2011, October 24-26 • In-class design activities with IS 629 • No reading :D • Normal schedule resumes 10/31 w/ CSCW
