20 Questions Seminar guidelines
Thursdays 2:00pm-3:00pm @ 1015 Evans Hall, organized by Andrew Critch and Pablo Solis.
Here are some evolving guidelines for participation in the seminar. If we follow these to an extent,
the seminar should run fairly autonomously.
- You do not have to ask or answer a question! Just hearing what lots of people are thinking in a short time is reason enough to attend.
- Stick to questions you think others are at least as prepared for as you are. For example, avoid
questions that require a lot of background from your own research.
- Start questions by writing up your name, and end by saying "thank-you" or something.
- Don't be afraid to ask for clarifications! Questions should be stated as clearly as possible.
- Wait till the end of the seminar to discuss solutions, unless of course you can say the answer very quickly :)
- Lets try to wrap things up around 2:40 so we have time to discuss answers at the end (and before our brains fill up!).
- Afterwards, visit MathOverflow.net if you want to view or post answers.
