Message from Bogdan Tudor, dated 22 April 2011

Hello Prof. Tan,

I just wanted to give you a bit of feedback after the first semester of CSTalks. We started on 19 Jan, and we had a talk every week, except CNY holiday, until 13 April. We had a total of 12 talks, including the last two given by prof. Terence Sim.

We have paused CSTalks for a few weeks, due to the exam period. Me and Cristina will be away for most of the holiday, however, Zhonghua, He Lian and Mukesh have volunteered to help organize meetings from time to time during the holiday. We will resume full-time from August.

The talks from this semester covered a diverse areas of CS and research in CS: (2 talks about architectures, 2 about networking, 2 about multimedia, 1 about machine learning, 1 about programming languages, 2 about research in CS, 2 talks on writing/presentations). Unfortunately we did not have any talk on IS, although we did have some IS students in the audience. Also, we had students from the Graduate School of Integrative Sciences and Engineering.
The complete list of talks, with links to the slides is here: http://blog.nus.edu.sg/cstalks/slides-of-past-talks/

Overall we are confident it was a positive experience for the research students in SoC. We managed to establish an inertia to these meetings, and a core group of students that participated almost every week in these meetings. Recruitment of student speakers has gotten easier towards the end of the semester, to the point that actually we couldn't accommodate one speaker because we had to stop on 13 April.

We want to thank you and the School for the support given to us for this project, both moral and financial. It was a great experience, we got to learn about other areas, to talk about our area, to find out new and interesting things, and to discover the great students our School have. We will work to continue creating these types of meeting in the future.

Best wishes,
The CSTalks Team
(Bogdan, Cristina, Marcel, Vlad, Zhonghua, He Lian, Mukesh etc.)
