Class cancelled on Thursday, May 07, 2026

I am feeling very under the weather and think it wil be a mercy to all concerned if I cancel class this Thursday.

See y'all next week!

Class Materials for May 05-07, 2026

 This week, we begin Academic Presentations!

Therefore, it is worth nothing that the procedure in class for them is slightly different than for the General Interest Presentation. These 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, soul crushing silence).

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

See y'all in class!

Communication through Teams and Email

From now until further notice. For technical reasons. I will communicate with groups 1, 2 and 3 through Teams and with individual students through Teams and/or email.
