Items to be posted on the web:
by March 21: a brief outline of the research proposal. see example.
by April 11: initial results of the research project (such as a few key conclusions and a table, graph and/or map).
You can test the link by creating a draft version of your file and uploading it to your html directory in your ifs space. You can always modify or replace this file.

For presentations, please plan for a quick 4-5 minute formal presentation of your virtual poster, and a few short minutes for questions. Given the quick timing, present only the most important and/or compelling aspects of your project. One or two good visuals (e.g., chart, table, thematic map, etc.) will be more effective than a quick race through a long list of text and data. Regardless of your date of presentation, be sure that your web site works fine BEFORE the start of class, Wednesday, April 11. Please come to class ON-TIME by 10:00 a.m. each day so that each group has a full audience. Students are encouraged to view other project web sites beforehand and offer constructive comments to the other groups both in and outside of class. See also this web page on for advice on writing up your assignment.

Presentation schedule: we need to stick precisely to the start times (including the 10:10 sharp start) to insure that all groups are able to present within class time. Time allocation for each group ranges between 6 and 10 minutes (time = 4 minutes + 2 minutes per group member)
