These are two separate documents, one-to-two pages
each, both due on the same day.I
view the presentations as being broader than the papers, but this may not
necessarily be so in every case.There
are two general options:
(a)The
research paper and the class presentation are from the same or related
areas.In
this case you would cover the broader material in the class presentation
and, optionally, introduce the specific topic of your paper.For
example, one year I had three students interested in the economic issues
related to the European database protection laws and the proposals for
similar laws in the U.S.They coordinated
their presentations with me to cover several of the reading from Sections
E.2 and E.3 of the reading list.
(b)The
research paper and the class presentation need not be from the same area.You
may wish to cover two different areas, one with some breadth for the presentation
and the other in more depth for the paper.Or
you might want to write a paper on your own and be part of a group presentation
on a different topic
In either case, if you plan to do one or both
of these with another class member, you must get my permission via the
proposal.Similarly, tell me if
you wish to coordinate presentations with others in the class (including
me).
November 1 and later
|
Class presentations,
approximately two per day.

Tell me if you have preferences for certain dates,
need to avoid some dates, or whatever.I
shall try to impose some overall logic in the order of the presentations
to improve the “flow” from one topic to another.

Papers
due (last class)
|
A
note on formats:
The
papers
are to be written as research papers—sentences, paragraphs, sections, tables
and figures (as needed), footnotes, bibliography.PowerPoint
presentations, annotated outlines, etc., are not acceptable.On
the other hand, the presentations can benefit from handouts, slides,
readings assigned in advance, etc.Let
me know about equipment needs at least one week before your presentation.
