Fall 2007 In-Class Presentation Schedule
Click here for tips for a successful presentation. If you need to change your scheduled presentation, either pick one for which nobody has signed up, or contact someone with whom you can switch. But above all, let me know in advance what you are going to do. I would be delighted to talk to you in the days before your presentation is due, and I am happy to help you work on performance strategies, ways to explain your choice of passage or work, and ways to analyze what you have performed.
