This senior seminar offers students the opportunity to delve deep into the foundational works of computer science by exploring seminal papers across various subfields. Through critical reading, analysis, discussion, and reflection, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of key concepts, methodologies, and breakthroughs that have shaped the field of computer science. Each week, students will engage with a different seminal paper from subfields of CS systems, applications, and theory topics. The seminar culminates in a final report where students synthesize and analyze multiple papers, providing insights into the landscape of a subdiscipline in computer science research of their choosing. Students will develop critical thinking, analytical, and communication skills essential for success in computer science.
