Presentations - Signup #2
Everyone must sign up for one presentation for the first half of the semester, and another for the second half.
- As always I’m grateful to those who sign up for the earlier ones!
- Presentations will be given during the class meeting that we discuss that reading.
- You will also need to submit a written version afterwards. See the the write-up page for more.
- Note: The write-up requirements are also a good guide to what the presentation itself will need to include.
- Pick one reading, then click the button to claim it. If there’s a name in bold in front of the reading name, that one’s already been picked by another student.
- If you want to change the presentation you’ve chosen to a different one, email me and I’ll swap it in the roster.
