PROJECTS
You need to do a project
on a topic of your choice selected after consultation with the
Instructor, write a paper on it and present it in class at the
end of the semester. This is not meant to be original work. You just
need to understand a certain subject described in one of the recommended
textbooks
and not covered in class or in a research paper you happen to be interested in.
Alternatively, you may write notes for one of the units covered in class. Notes are due one week after the corresponding unit has been covered.
DEADLINES
- Consult with Instructor and agree on scope of project by Tue., Feb. 3 (or ASAP if you are planning on writing notes)
- First draft due by Tue., Mar. 31
- Paper due by Tue., Apr. 28
- Presentations Wed., Apr. 29 (10:15 - 12:15)
