Schedule of Term Project Presentations:

2004 students: we have to fill out our presentations schedule for this year. Click on the presentation subject for a relevant link, if available. The schedule and topics from last year are available here. These initial time periods correspond to the final exam periods assigned to 547 (Thursday) and 548 (Tuesday). We may need to schedule other times as well, though I think that would at most need to be one hour, the replacement hour for the class period I was ill. Please see me ASAP concerning your time desired and teh references you wish to post so students can see what you will discuss beforehand. If you are working on a new project, you are still required to post some background reading that would be helpful for your colleagues. All students are required to distributew the notes or slides of their presentations before the presentation, for the convenience of the audience. Unless otherwise specified, this will constitute your written submission in support of your presentation.
