Latin 520 (Tiberius): Assignment for Week 10 (March 3-10)

 

ItÕs conference week!

 

Please remember to a) send me your title by, well nowÉ.if you havenÕt done that already, please do so asap; and b) your abstract by Tuesday noon at the latest.  See previously email about the abstract: if you do not know to what I refer, please do ask.  I shall presently post the order of presentation on the course website.

 

As for the papers themselvesÉ.

 

As mentioned in class, you should plan on 12-15 minutes – no more.  If you exceed 15 minutes, I shall rudely stop you (and indeed, this actually happensÉmoreso at the AIA than the APA, but it does happen). 

 

I am aiming for 5 papers on Tuesday, 4 papers on Thursday.  Alas, in this matter, democracy is non-existent.  As conference organizer, I get to decide the order of the papers (I am here again mimicking the real world).  There will be time for questions and responsesÉindeed, part of the purpose of presenting a paper is to solicit suggestions/questions for the final written version.

 

On Thursday, at the conclusion of the last paper, I shall give a ÔresponseÕ to the nine papers and try to summarize a few of the many things we have (hopefully) learned.
