Course Description * Schedule * Reading * Assessment

Project Progress Reports

Individuals or research groups will provide an update on their progress in class in the last course meeting. Think about:

• What "Big Questions" are you addressing?
• What contact effects are you seeking?
• What corpora are you using?
• What context factors are relevant?

1. What do (/would) you already know?
2. What do you still need to find out?
3. What’s your time-table for the duration?
4. What might be sticking points where you need help?

Please aim for a 20 minute presentation, including Q&A/Discussion. If there will be a handout or PPT, please send it to me at least 24 hours before class. I'm happy to discuss your presentation/plans as they develop.
