Since most of the students wouldn't have everything ready to present next week, we are delaying the presentations for one more week. So the presentations should happen on 15 July and 22 July (possibly also 23 July if there is any overflow). If anyone wants to volunteer to present on the first day (15 July), just let us know. Otherwise we will choose next week who presents on which date. You should try to finish as many experiments as possible by 15 July so you can be ready to present. Presentations should be kept under 10 minutes so we have more time for discussion. |
