Your turn! Student Projects

As per the syllabus, 5% of your grade will be based on contributing a Rhea page on a subject related to the course. To pick a subject, simply write your name next to "names". No more than 5 students per topic! Note: don't try to erase other people from a topic. I will know about it.

If you have an idea for another topic that you like, just add a new row and fill it.

Your page will be graded based on content as well as interactions with other people (page views, comments/questions on the page, etc.). The number of links to other courses and subjects will also be taken into account: the more the merrier! Please do not simply copy the lecture notes. What I am looking for is a story in you OWN words, not smart comments by an expert. I want to see you digested the topic, not that you can quote other people on it.

Do not plagiarize. Read Rhea's copyright policy before proceeding.

For some lovely contributions, see Honors Project 2011 by Daniel Lee
