Okay - I haven't heard from many people about the final presentations, which is not terribly reassuring since I asked for some input on speaking order, etc. Here are the updated announcements on final presentations:
• We are meeting in Anderson Hall, Room 633 (this is a change - we are not in 808)
• All of us are meeting from as one large group from Noon to 2pm
• You should be prepared to make a ten minute presentation including allowance for questions on your research this semester. It may be a summary of the papers you've written or you may present the most successful one you've written.
• Unless there are strong objectiosn, we'll go in alphbetical order by class year; first years first (Gruber, Murphy, Schick, Yarrington) then second years (DeMarco, Houston, Juriga, Navarro, Reenock, Saulin). That's one hour and forty minutes if everyone takes the ten he or she is allotted. We'll have to keep it moving.
•Visuals are strongly encouraged. I have reserved a computer cart wit h DVD, projector, and speakers. If you need special gear, tell Erin right away.
• After the last presentation, I'll need a few minutes to talk about the way things went this semester from my perspective and to hear about it form yours. We will be working together again next semester and there are some things I think we could fix to make it more productive. Please bring your suggestions as well.
• I'll be available for short one-on-one meetings after our group meeting, at which time I can talk about grades if you're curious.
• After the presentations you'll fill out evaluations for this course.
