Sending your presentation PowerPoint slides

Dear Students,

I hope work on your presentation is going well.

Dariel sent you an email earlier today with Paper 2 handout and a few clarifications. I just want to add that you are kindly requested to send us your PowerPoint slides by 9 am on Monday, May 1 (for teams presenting on Monday), and by 9 am on Wednesday, May 3 (for teams presenting on Wednesday).

I will be consolidating all slides into one file and I have two hours to do that before class. Please do not send your slides past 9 am.

Send your PowerPoint file to celhayek@mit.edu. I suggest that one person in each team do that. I am sure many of the files are going to be large (due to the images). If you are unable to email the file to me, share it with me, instead, on Dropbox. I have a Dropbox account linked to my MIT email address.

Also, give your presentation a title!

Teams presenting on Monday:
Team 1: Maria, George & Baily
Team 2: Ciera, Wajeeha & Jordan
Team 3: Lisbeth, Michelle & Illili
Team 4: Brandon, Anthony & Marc

Teams presenting on Wednesday:
Team 5: Philip, Jae Yong & Beau
Team 6: Sara, Yi & Sabrina
Team 7: Jose, June & Jordan
Team 8: Brian, Cindy & Cameron

Let me know if you have any questions.

Best regards,
Chantal

Presentation Teams

Dear Students,

We kindly ask you to form your teams for the upcoming presentations, which are happening on Monday, May 1 & Wednesday, May 3. Think about who you would like to present with. Each team should consist of 3 people.

We will give you a list of your names in class tomorrow and ask you to mark your team on it. Let us know if you have any questions, before tomorrow, as you decide.

Also please note that Paper 2, which is based on the presentation, is due on May 10. We will discuss Paper 2 requirements in our sections this week.

Thank you,
Chantal

Midterm Exam Grades

Dear Students,

We just entered the midterm exam grades on Stellar. You can go ahead and check them if you like, and we will give you the exam sheet in our section meeting so you can take a look at it.

If you have tried to check your grade earlier, please be aware that there was an error and some grades got mixed up. Please make sure you recheck now.

Thank you and let me know if you have any questions.
