Roster

P335 Class Roster (Dec. 26, 2008)


Announcements

1. Required Texts:
William Strunk, Jr. and E.B. White, The Elements of Style (Macmillan)- you can find this on Amazon.com or other web sites; it's essential to own.

2. Dec. 18, 2008 Announcement #1

3. Formats. I suggest using whatever is the standard in your field. In mine, one uses LaTeX to word-process, and postscript or pdf for figures. I can provide you with templates and a 10-minute LaTeX lesson if you'd like (phone me to arrange). Please do NOT use docx - I can't read it on my Unix machine.

4. The final papers will be due on Wednesday June 3rd. That afternoon we will have the traditional poster presentations in KPTC206 from 2 to 5, followed by a buffet dinner and celebration at 5:30. The template for the poster is the typical poster at a conference. The audience will be faculty, fellow grad students, and group members. The paper will be judged on clarity, organization, and level of effort. You've gotten a good start- I suggest working on it occasionally during the quarter and not letting it slide to the end. A few days devoted to it before the crunch will make life a lot easier at the end. I'm available for advice and technical help.
