Instructions for doing the project:
Each group of two persons should prepare a 45 minute lecture on their topic.
Each group should also prepare a 1-2 page summary, which is to be handed out to all participants at the presentation. These summaries are to be part of the course material and I will ask questions on their content at the oral exam.
Make sure to discuss your project with me well before your presentation.Use the text in the book as a quide, look up key references discussed in the book to make your presentation and report more complete.
