Information about projects
You are required to give a 25 minute project presentation (plus 5 minutes for questions, for a total time of 30 minutes) on a topic that you select for your project. Your presentation should explain your topic to a target audience whose background is that of a typical student in the course, and include your own perspective about the subject.
List of possible project topics
Timeline
By October 31
Selection of your project topic (this may be a tentative selection). Please take time to think about your topic. But you are not required to select a topic from this list. Sometimes, communicating with the instructor to discuss potential topics helps lead to good project choice for your background and interests. By October 31, you should submit:
a tentative title
a very short abstract (around 20-50 words) summarizing your project
a list of references you are looking at
information about your preferred timing to enable scheduling.
During the last week of classes and during the final exam period
The project presentations.
Questions
What if more than one person chooses the same project topic?
This is fine and can be accommodated in two ways: (a) people can team up and present back-to-back talks (one building upon the other) that explain the topic in more detail than a single talk; (2) people can also present separate talks (but then they should work in isolation from each other).
