Reply in the comments below with the presentation you want to take. Specify by number so it's clear. Make sure the one you're signing up for is not already taken by someone else. Everyone must sign up for one presentation. As always I'm grateful to those who sign up for the earlier ones!
- Presentations will be given in the comments that class meeting. Forum presentations are due the night before the class meeting day, so they are already there for people to read and respond to. The forum post will count as your written version, so you do not need to submit that separately.
- The forum post must meet the write-up requirements in the syllabus in terms of length (the length of a 2-3 page essay = ~500-750 words) and expected content (reactive and analytical).
