0.12 Reading questions

Along with every article, we will provide reading questions. You will not be graded on the reading questions, but it is important to prepare the reading questions before every lecture. The purpose of the reading questions is as follows:

• to provide relevant background knowledge for the lecture;
• to explain the key terms and concepts;
• to be aware of important publications that shaped the field;
• to help you to prepare for the exam; it is not necessary to learn the answers to the reading questions by heart, but the reading questions will help you extract the relevant insights from the literature.
• We will post standard answers to the reading questions online before the exam, but their most valuable role is to guide your understanding during the course, not while preparing the exam.
