HomeworksProjects

Project topics will be selected from a list of suggestions or can be based on the research interests of participants. Work on terms projects will continue throughout the semester, with an abstract due in March and a draft paper due in April. Each participant will give a 10 minute project presentation during the last 3 classes. The final papers will be due on the last day of classes (May 4), at 5 pm.
