Tips and Tricks for Communication in Computer Science:
Reviews, Papers and Talks

Research results in computer science are peer-reviewed, read, and listened to.
To communicate our results, we thus need to write them down, submit what we wrote to peer review, and present them orally.
These lectures are dedicated to
(a) criticism: how to receive and to offer reviews;
(b) the written word: how to read and to write papers; and
(c) the spoken word: how to attend and to give talks.

The GTTSE 2011 lectures, updated:

• Lecture 2/3: The written word.
• Lecture 3/3: The spoken word.
• Lecture 4/3: From definitions to titles.
• Bonus: Your graduate life in pictures.

Naturally, comments are welcome.
