THE GROUPINGS |
Once you have chosen your "Permanent Group", you will work with those same people throughout the semester to produce all of these major presentations this semester. Although there will be some class time allotted for Group-Meeting-And-Planning, it is likely that GROUPS WILL NEED TO MEET AND/OR COMMUNICATE OUTSIDE OF CLASS ON A REGULAR BASIS.

A preliminary version to be submitted well prior to presentation date (use appropriate variations: (i.e. Basic / DecMkg / ProbSol) A final, hard copy A/O is due on day of Presentation BEFORE the group gives its presentation.
