PLEASE NOTE:

Next Wednesday (5/11), I plan to continue the class data analysis. Most likely, we will use this class to produce the poster presentation. I am considering using the following class (5/18) as an opportunity for individual consultation about final papers (giving you all time to work independently). Please plan accordingly.
