===Presentation Response Record===
On the weeks when you are NOT presenting, you are expect to:
# read the papers that will be presented so you can ask questions in class and
# write a one paragraph summary after the presentation that includes:
* the '''name of the paper,''' its authors, and the citation information
* the '''presenter(s)'''
* the '''main motivation, methods and conclusion(s)''' from the paper
* your '''assessment of the work''' performed
* the '''reason you believe it was included''' in this class
* your '''assessment of its place in the larger context''' of synthetic biology
* a '''constructive suggestion''' for how the presentation itself might have been might have been improved (this will *not* be shared with the presenter unless you specifically ask it to be).
As a guide for your work, a sample response record is offered [[Media:Sample 20.385ResponseRecord.doc| here.]] This sample is a modified submission by JK for 20.902(S08).

You are not expected to submit a response paragraph on the weeks you present a paper. 
Response paragraphs are due before the studio session one week following the presentation. 
Each response paragraph is worth 10 points. 
Late assignments will be docked 0.5 points for each 24 hours late. 
These response records will account for 20% of your final grade.
