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.
