   Each group is responsible for giving a 4 minute presentation about their assigned paper next week. Your group is responsible for the paper that has your group number. Plan on meeting with your group at least once before next week to discuss your presentation plans. These presentations should be done without slides.

   Each student in the class also should read one other paper of their choice from this list before class next week. We will ask that you make a posting about the paper you read on our GoPost message board (coming soon).
