But first...

• Your major project report sites
  • link to your major project web site
  • analyze your data
  • at the end, add a section describing the implications of your project in a broader context
  • Examples from last spring: Katy Grans, Eun-Jung Kim, Stephanie Mahfood, Xiao Wang
  • put the URL to your report web page in WebBoard/c-base

Plan for the rest of the semester

• Next week: Summary
• the following week: major project reports due (oral and written)
  • 10 minutes
  • What are the most important or interesting things you learned from your project?
  • Assume people have read your final report - start by reminding us what your project is - don't show us every page of your web site
