Final Presentations in Physics 201

We will meet in the regular place, 08-1174, on Friday, Feb 15. Everyone should arrive before 2:00 PM. Talks will be given at the times shown below.

Please note the following rules of order:

There will be a computer connected to a projector in the hallway outside the room, set up before class starts. If you have a Powerpoint presentation, please arrive between 1:45 and 2:00 PM to load your presentation onto the computer before the class starts.
When you are called to the podium, you will have up to one minute to set things up. I will then start a timer when you begin to speak.
- at 2 minutes, I will make a small knocking sound
- at 3 minutes, I will ring a bell once
- at 4 minutes, I will ring a bell many times and stop you
Students who finish their presentation between 2.5 and 3.0 minutes will receive a bonus in their score.
Students who do not finish in 4 minutes will receive a penalty in their score.

We will have food and drink. Enjoy!
