Research Readings
(optional extra) This week is starting to get a little bit long. BUT, I suspect that some of you were intrigued by the previous article about PRIMM. If so, I strongly suggest you take the time to do one more reading by selecting a referenced research article about PRIMM of your choice.
- Please select one of the "References" from the article on PRIMM (located on page 24).
- You can easily locate this article by following the short URL attached to the article.
- Many of the links go to a landing page at the ACM which contains the abstract. You will need to locate the PDF button to read the full article.
- Read this article of your choice
- While I don't expect you to go into a deep reading/analysis of this article I do want you to read it in enough details and to be able to write a brief summary and explain it to your peers.

Textbook Reflection
