Ideas for the final paper, which will be due Wednesday, May 20, at noon (deadline has been extended by one week). If you send me a draft by May 13 (the earlier the better!), I will have a look and let you know if I have any comments.

Instead of class, we will do a field trip to Alex Smith's phd thesis defense on Tuesday, April 28 at 2pm. There will be a make-up class on Thursday, April 30 at the usual time.
