Answers to Questions
“Can I write the abstract for the papers uploaded on the course ftp site? ”
Yes. You can use the papers on ftp site, and you can find paper yourself as well. The important thing is that
you are required to write a review for the fourth reading assignment, so you are commended to select the
papers on one topic. If you randomly select the papers to practice writing the abstracts, you will need more
time to finish the paper review.
