Course evaluation and optional tute
I forgot to get you to fill out the course evaluation. Sorry.
Could we do that at 1pm today in the interaction room as part of the optional tutorial?
Those who come I will make it worthwhile....

Student presentations
I expect you all to attend all the presentations and to fill out the feedback and assessment forms I will provide.
I will bring the data projector but it is your responsibility to bring a laptop and to check beforehand that you can get it to work with the data projector. I will set up the data projector at least 15 minutes before class time so you can do that.
Time limits will be strictly enforced.

Course summary
You can hand this to me on friday June 24 but I will not start marking them until monday June 27.
Read the course profile for more information for what the summary should involve.
The summary should sent to me via email as a pdf file.
Since there have already been several incidents of plagiarism in this course, all the summaries will be run through the program Turnitin.

Some papers for student presentations
Here is a preliminary list of possible papers you can use for your presentation.
First come, first served.
Claim yours with a comment below.
I welcome alternative suggestions.
You will have to give a 15 minute presentation where you
-summarise the key ideas and results of the paper
-relate the contents to what you have learnt in the course
-state things you did not understand
-any weaknesses you see in the paper
Marks will be based on
-quality of presentation
-level of understanding of the paper
-ability to relate the paper to what you have learned in the course
-ability to answer questions

Optional extra tutorial
Some students have asked for extra feedback and advice on passing the course.
Tomorrow at 1pm I will be available in the interaction room. If you wish to work through tutorial problems and/or past exam questions, and get feedback I will be available then. If it is popular enough I will do this every week, at a mutually agreeable time.

Tutorial questions
Here are some tutorial questions that we may look at during the semester. Try and do them by yourself and I will then give help as needed to do them.
Some of these questions have been exam questions in the past.

Where are your blog posts?
There are 40 formative points for posting on this blog.
As stated in the course profile:
To receive 3 points per week, a student must post at least two items and two comments on other student posts. Posts can include summaries of the reading (especially focusing on what is the key idea, key figure, or key equation for a section), questions the students have, or links to material related to the course.
Since no student posted last week, you all get zero for week 1.
