Class Materials for March 04-05, 2025

 For this week, you should bring your list of possible academic topics (printed out on paper to give to me).

We will do General Interest Presentations.

Group 1 will have a slightly different class since there will be an early academic presentation. 

For academic presentations the procedure in class is slightly different: The changes are meant to make the presentation a bit more like the exam.

The student gives everyone but me a copy of their handout.

The student then leaves the room and waits in the hall.

I come out into the hall and briefly speak to the student then I go back into the room.

The student waits a few seconds, enters, gives me my handout and goes to the front of the room and waits for the cue from me to begin.

The student delivers their presentation (I'll give the time cues as before) then thank the audience and ask for questions.

At some point in the Q&A I will say 'Thank you' and then the student leaves the room (to horrible, horrible silence).

Then I open the door and the student comes back into the room cheers and applause.

See y'all in class!
