LET'S GET BACK TO BLOGGING!

Now that your research papers are done and the oral presentations have started, it's time to revisit our blogs and catch up to what everybody's thinking about topics we covered in class. So please start posting your thoughts on 
1)population
2) your research project (use those questions that we discussed in class as inspiration)
3) your experience giving your oral presentation (after you've given it, of course)
Also you can post any ideas, anytime also!

Research Project Deadline

Please bring in your final draft of your research project on Tuesday morning. I will check it over quickly and then you can go and print up your two copies. Use your checklist. You don't have to write an abstract. Don't wait until 11:30!
You will work on your Oral Presentations on Tuesday afternoon. 
We will also discuss the last three weeks of the course. 
We are so close to the end of this course so keep your focus and pace yourselves. Soon we will be sitting on a terrace together enjoying the sunshine and congratulating each other on all your hard work.
E-mail me if you have any questions.
