ANNOUNCEMENTS
Project must be chosen by 9/5/18.
An IOP latex template file, with instructions, can be found at iopjnl2e.tar.gz
Students must meet with me by 9/14/18 to discuss a reading list for their respective projects.
A resource I find more useful than the arXiv for searching is inSpire.
Students should have a preliminary outline for their project by 9/28/18.
Students should have a preliminary version of their manuscript by 11/16/18 (i.e., before Thanksgiving),
but if you want it reviewed so you can refine it during Thanksgiving, it's due by 11/9/18.
Students should have a final version of their manuscript by 12/05/18 (last day of class).
Final presentations for student projects will take place during 12/10-12/18.
