Schedule of Student Presentations:
This is a tentative schedule of student colloquium presentations. If for any reason you have
been scheduled for a date you already know you cannot make, please contact Jean as soon as
possible.
Everyone has been scheduled to present on a methodology he or she selected. However, you
will notice that in some cases a single methodology has been broken out into components, and that
individual students have been asked to focus their presentation on a particular piece of the larger
methodology. If you feel unhappy the chunk you have been offered, please negotiate with your co-
presenters so that each of you presents on something of interest and importance to you; I am neutral
about who presents what, as long as all the important points are covered.
