Dear P335,

Some organizational items:

1. There's a proto-web page at
   http://hep.uchicago.edu/cdf/frisch/p335/.

a. See the required text listed under 'Announcements'. You will need this.

b. Please take a look at the schedule on the web page for next
   quarter. And please check that your entry is correct and reflects
   what you want to do. Some of the entries are incomplete as the
   information wasn't in your response, and some of the
   abstracts/goals seem rushed and higgley-piggley.  So, please check
   that you have a descriptive and attractive title, have your
   advisor's name in your abstract, and that your abstract submission
   is responsive to my request. Please send me any changes to the
   titles or advisors, and updated abstracts if warranted.

2. Schedule- see web page.

a.  Note that a first draft of the paper is due Feb. 6th. At this
   point I would like to see the final title, `final' abstract, a
   relatively complete outline, including (dummy) figures and tables,
   and the `final' conclusions. Lest this seem unreasonable, by
   `final' (in quotes), I mean try to write what would be the result
   of a successful 335 project in terms of scope. I am NOT asking you
   to predict the science outcome- feel free to make up whatever
   result might be or not be the outcome, but instead to think hard,
   and negotiate with your advisor, about what it is you are trying to
   do. You will not be held to the outline, but it will be, I hope, a
   useful exercise in preventing pile-up at the end of the project.

b. There will be presentations, each 10-min long, with 5 min for
   questions, on March 5th and/or 6th. 

c. A complete draft of the winter quarter paper, a precursor to the
final paper due in the spring, is due March 13th at 5pm.

All the above is negotiable now, but once the quarter begins I would like to
keep it fixed in stone as much as I can. So check your schedules
now, and holler if you foresee a problem.

I am usually available by phone at 773-702-7479, and my office door is always
open. Please feel free to call and schedule a time to talk about all
this.

				Best wishes,
					Henry
