For MTH1010 students:

I was extremely impressed with how the research papers are coming along for those that
did what I asked and brought their materials to class. A number of you are well on your way to producing an interesting read and meeting the project requirements as listed in the project description and the scoring rubric.

About the presentations: some students are a bit unclear about the presentations. Regardless
of whether you are asked to stand up and present, you are STILL expected to produce
at least a Power Point presentation or some kind of visual (trifold; posterboard) that can be handed in to accompany your paper. ONE POWER POINT SLIDE WILL SUFFICE!!! It does not have to be anything flashy or elegant; just something that highlights the main points of your paper.

I do not know how much actual presenting will take place since our courses are so far behind. If you ARE asked to present, limit it to a minute or two. You won't be expected to give a 20-minute soliloquy! We just don't have time for that and none of your classmates want to hear you talk for 20 minutes.

Just six class sessions left now before the Final Exam for my Monday/Wednesday classes; 7 for the Tuesday/Thursday group. HANG IN THERE, DIG DEEP AND GIVE IT YOUR ALL THESE LAST THREE WEEKS!
