Team Project

Much of the work in this class will be the development of a team project. The teams will make two oral presentations and produce a final team paper. We will divide the class into teams of 4-5 students. We will provide a short list below of topics for team projects. The teams will draw slips for the order of choice of topic and then choose a topic from the list. Any team that would like to propose a topic not on this list should come see us.
