Raising MSR Researchers: An Experience Report on Teaching a Graduate Seminar Course in Mining Software Repositories (MSR)

Abstract

This experience report discusses my views on raising MSR researchers through a graduate-level seminar course. A key goal of this report is to kick start a discussion on this topic within our growing community. A discussion for which there is rarely a suitable venue. Yet, it is an essential discussion to have as a community grows, especially given the rapid growth of the MSR community over the past decade.
