Please let us know if you would like to make a short presentation about your research project in progress during the week when we are covering topics of interest to you. There is no better way to learn the theoretical material than to work on an actual project. And, as a bonus, you will get feedback from the whole class and might even find a collaborator!
General guidelines:
Choose a week when we will be discussing a topic of interest to you. Let us know about it in advance. Prepare a short 5-min presentation of your project and formulate 2-3 questions for the class.
