Computer Science Research: CURIS Internship Onramp

A version of CS 197 designed specifically for students who will be participating in spring/summer CURIS internships OR have an ongoing research project with a (Ph.D. student or professor) mentor in the Stanford Computer Science department. An onramp for students interested in breaking new ground in the frontiers of computer science. Course format features faculty lectures introducing the fundamentals of computer science research, alongside mentorship and feedback from the CURIS or research mentor on a real research project. Students will attend the same lectures as CS197 and may enroll for 3 units. Lecture topics include reading technical papers, practicing oral communication and technical writing skills, and independently formulating research questions. Students must have commitment from their CURIS or research mentor for weekly check-in meetings. Prerequisite: CS106B.
