Hi all,

I just wanted to let you know that since my office hour is after the final paper is due, you should feel free to schedule an appointment with me for Monday or Tuesday. Also, Bruno has an interview on Tuesday, so I will be available in my office during his office hour.

Good luck with your revisions!

Best,
Miikka

next week: no class and final papers.

As a reminder, there will be no class next week (Monday or Wednesday) since we finished all of the presentations.  I hope you can use this additional time to work on the revisions of your paper.  I will be having office hours next week as usual, 10:30-11:30am on Monday.

The final paper will be due on Wednesday 12/14 at 8am, uploaded to the course website.  Please append all of the following documents into one PDF file for submission (with the filename finalpaper_yourname): paper revision, "response to referees," and .do/.log files.

We look forward to reading your final papers.

comments posted on first drafts.

I posted my comments on your first drafts to the course website. Note that you are not expected to incorporate this feedback into your presentations; this feedback is just for your final draft. In general these first drafts looked very good.

As a reminder, please submit your slides for your presentation by tomorrow at 8am. I would like to start class on time tomorrow with the first presentation, so please be sure to arrive on time.

Look forward to your presentations.

Please glance over these (short) assignment descriptions before class tomorrow so that we can discuss any remaining questions you have during class tomorrow.

As a reminder, the first draft of your paper is due uploaded to the website tomorrow at 8am. Please be sure to upload it as a PDF file, with filename firstdraft_yourname. I look forward to reading these first drafts of your papers.
