Jun 21, 2017 at 2:23 comment added Mad Jack Is undergraduate research worth it? -- If a course offered at your undergrad institution has a track record of providing students an opportunity to get published in legit venues, then, yes, absolutely, research is worth it. (That's a big, ol' fat "if", by the way.)

Jun 20, 2017 at 20:46 comment added Fomite @101010111100 A common form of these papers are essentially reviews. I had written two of them by the time I was done as an undergrad, one of which was submitted. 10 years later, it remains my highest cited publication. Arguably one of my most prestigious publications was also done as an undergrad. It was arguably a special case, but it's far from impossible.
Jun 20, 2017 at 20:39 comment added Massimo Ortolano I don't know about Computer Science, but in general I can hardly imagine an undergraduate writing, alone, a paper worth of publication in the timespan of a course.

Jun 20, 2017 at 20:25 comment added 101010111100 I am very sceptical that an undergraduate student with no prior research experience can do proper original research on any subject and document it in a paper in a single semester, or even two semesters for that matter. It may be a good learning experience, but you may also pick up some bad habits along the way (due to the unreasonable expectations).
