Meetings

Organization

  1. Meeting every 2 weeks, alternating between journal club and Work-in-Progress (WIP) meeting
  2. The WIP serves for members to update each other on their latest endeavor or research in a casual setting. However, any member can do a formal representation during WIP to get feedback on their work in a timely manner.

Meeting Guide

Journal Club Guide

These are good practices agreed by members

  1. 1-2 papers discussed per journal club, related to a specific topic.
  2. Paper(s) should be sent out one week before meeting, together with length of expected discussion time e.g. 5,15,30 minutes. Very important papers may take up the entire discussion session, however less important papers should be covered rapidly.
  3. Paper(s) selected should be relevant to your own work, and preferably of general interest to members.
  4. Include a brief introduction on the paper(s) and why you selected it (e.g. a landmark paper, of general interest, a technological advance, important discoveries, thought-provoking)
  5. Summarize the paper at a high level.

Chairperson Guide

Mission: To ensure meetings are conducted smoothly. This includes preparing the room (e.g. meeting room, projector, markers)

Before Meeting

  1. Remind the presenter of the next meeting (that it is her/his turn).
  2. Send reminder to team members on date, time and venue of the next coming meeting (especially if there is change in the original schedule).
  3. Ensure meeting room is available. CCBR meeting rooms are normally not locked. If not, get the key from Gary (he has keys to all CCBR meeting rooms). If Gary is not around, get the key from administration office at CCBR level 2.
  4. Prepare projector if it is needed. Check with Gary. If not, get it from administration office at CCBR level 2. Laptop needed will be prepared by presenter.
  5. Ensure markers and whiteboard eraser is available.

During Meeting

  1. Prepare and introduce agenda. It may be advisable to list "administrative issues" before a presentation or discussion.
  2. Keep meeting on track (in term of agenda)
  3. Keep meeting to the scheduled duration if time is a constraint
  4. Moderate discussion and manage the group dynamics
    1. Try not to let one person dominate. Ask for other opinions. If some people are silent, draw them out by asking for their thoughts.
    2. Decide when to end debate on each topic.
    3. Give a short summary or recap before going on to the next topic.

After Meeting

  1. Update wiki
  2. Return projector
