Group Projects/Presentations
Description
This project will involve a historical and current view
of computing technology. This could be a purely technical
view, e.g., a detailed presentation on SAGE or it could
be a combination of computing technology and society, e.g.,
a group might study the use of computers in K-12.
Each team will make a presentation to the class of about 40 minutes.
Obviously each team member should be involved in both the preparation
and presentation.
Groups
The ideal size for groups is four students. Obviously this does not
always work out.
