COMMENTS:

 

NOTE:  Each student is expected to give her/his presentation on the assigned date.  Failure to do so may result in a grade of "F" (unsatisfactory).  If you know that a student will be unable to give a presentation, please inform the seminar coordinator as soon as possible.  In the event of unusual circumstances (e.g. serious illness) it may be possible to reschedule a presentation or to arrange for a grade of "I" (incomplete).  However, this option is only available for special situations and must be approved by the seminar coordinator.
