How could the sem inar look like

 Each student is assigned a paper

 Conference-style presentation (15 + 5 minutes sharp)  Followed by a critical discussion of the paper  Critical review – review form provided  Two page summary – ready for publication  Another round of conference-style presentations 

This time flawless!
