Week 9: PowerPoint

Current assignment: a judiciously composed PowerPoint based on your ten-item web bibliography.

Judicious? You shouldn't even try to show everything. Pick some of the best stuff, and use PowerPoint tools to make good illustrations of your thoughts.

Many links on PowerPoint style follow. Check them out — they're fun!

This project is due via e-mail by 8 am, Monday, March 24. Submit it by sending me a zip file of your PowerPoint attached to an e-mail.
