CS 197 · Spring 2024
This course offers a team-based introduction to Computer Science research experiences. Students form teams within a desired research area (e.g., AI), then are matched with a quarter-long research project under direct mentorship of a Ph.D. student, with the goal of producing a publishable work-in-progress (e.g., poster) by the end of the quarter. Classes will be organized into a once-weekly lecture and a one-weekly section meeting. Research areas meet regularly as sections led by a Ph.D. student in the area, sharing progress and challenges. Lecture components of the course teach research concepts in computer science.
