Re: workshop thoughts..

["Dr. Yi Deng" <deng@cs.fiu.edu>]

Kent made some good points, which are consistent with the principles that I pointed
out
before. The most effective way of learning is through discussion, not listening.
Presentations provide necessary information to foster discussion and serve as the
guide
to keep discussion on track. I am quit satisfied with the turnout of the workshops,

although I hope some participants can be more active.

Another point is equally important: The workshop is a forum of OPEN technical
exchange. It means that we should be objective, scientific, and open to different
views.
Instead of merely accepting the information being presented, every participant
should
take a CRITIAL mind in evaluating the information. Ask youself questions like:
Does it make sense, why or why not? Can we improve on that, or can we do better?
How things relate to each other? How do we put pieces into a bigger picture?
As for the person being questioned or "attacked", DO NOT take things personally!

The workshops have been both informative and interesting. Let's keep it  that way.
Once again, for those who look forward thesis topics, the forum is one of your best

resources.
