摘要
The UMBC Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering has developed a new class on "Basic Research Skills for Computer Science" for Ph.D. and M.S. students.' The class was first offered in Spring 2004, and will be taught for the second time in Spring 2005. The class focuses on teaching five basic skills that are necessary for research: critically reading and evaluating technical papers, performing literature surveys, developing research ideas, writing technical papers and proposals, and giving oral presentations. In this paper, the structure of the class is described. Quantitative and qualitative data is presented to support our claim that the course benefits students and teaches them important skills.
