Students will write a paper and give a 15 minute presentation at the end of the quarter. A list of possible topics is included below, or students can pick a topic of their own choosing. The paper should be at least 5 pages long (~1.5 line spacing), but no more than 10 pages long, and include at least 5 references, as well as figures.
The class
