Rough schedule & presentation ideas:

Here is a rough schedule and some ideas for presentations. If you have a general topic you're interested in and its not listed here, come talk with me and we can figure out an appropriate paper. Because of the class size, let's do the presentations in pairs: e.g., one person could present and the other could prepare a handout, or each partner could present half of the material. If you'd rather do a project (e.g., some experiments or working on an open problem and then a short (15 min) presentation on your ideas and findings), come talk with me.

Presentations on approx topics could be done in the middle of the course or at the end.
