| Project:
| You need to do a project
on a topic of your choice (selected after consultation with the
Instructor by Fri., Sep. 13), write a paper on it (first draft due by Wed., Oct. 23, final by Wed., Dec. 4) and present it in class at the
end of the semester (Mon., Dec. 9, 10:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.). This is not meant to be original work. You just
need to understand a certain subject described in an appropriate
textbook
and not covered in class, or in a research paper you happen to be interested in.
