Overall Organization

Weeks 1-4: Project 1 (prototype)
Weeks 5-9: Revise and extend to final project, OR option of selecting another project.
Week 10: Final presentations

Each Week

Many Mondays beginning week 2 will begin with short presentations by each project team. Typically these will be done in the form of a "standup" report. You should also provide constructive criticism of both content and presentation to other teams.

Many Fridays will be used, at least in part, for group meetings (with or without the instructor) and discussion.

Notes on presentation

Presentation duties should rotate among team members. Presentation and verbal communication skills are important; use this as an opportunity to practice in a friendly environment. Everyone should give at least part of one presentation during the term.

I know some people have anxiety about public speaking since I have had this as well. If you do not feel able to take a turn presenting to the class, come talk to me about it.

Week by Week Schedule

This schedule is preliminary and subject to change over the term.

Readings: Readings are from the van Vliet text with occasional downloads. Reading should be done before the class where they are listed. There are a few additional notes below the schedule. Papers labeled "522" are additional readings from the literature required for graduate students and recommended for undergraduates.
