Schedule 15 minutes to
discuss your project progress
and the topic of your in-class
presentation with Professor LaPaugh. This needs to be done by April 19.
Some students have already done this and need not do it again. Be
prepared to schedule your presentation. Your presentation may be
background material for your project or a separate topic of interest to
you. It cannot repeat material already presented in the
course. It must be at least 20 minutes in length, and you should
provide one or more readings that can be posted on Schedule
and Readings. A powerpoint presentation is encouraged.
The presentation requirement is also described in Work
of the Course.
