Each Week

Notes on presentations

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 approximate and will change in response to class needs. It will be updated to reflect current assignments and any changes in class schedule. You should check the schedule routinely during the quarter to make sure you are keeping up with.

Readings: Reading should be done before the class where they are listed. Papers labeled "522" are additional readings from the literature required for graduate students and recommended for undergraduates.

Status Reports: Monday classes will begin with a quick (2-3 minuet) status report from each team.
