Prepare and upload two Powerpoint slide to Brightspace that gives

• the title of your paper,
• your name,
• bullet points on progress since last update
  • number of words written,
  • figures and/or tables created (if any)
  • new references uncovered
  • other efforts done towards completion
  • paper writing and research challenges you face or have faced and that you would like class feedback on (you can always get feedback from only me — we’ll set up a meeting). Common challenges relate to
    • defining focus and staying on point
      • stating the paper’s topic early and clearly
    • concise writing to stay within length limits
    • synthesis across material
    • situating work within the existing literature
    • clearly stating the intended contribution of the work

You will have 5 minutes to update the class, and we’ll discuss after all have given their update.
