Student presentations are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis; see the relevent part of the syllabus for details. You must submit a paper and choice of mentor, along with your preferred presentation dates, by Friday Sept 11. The written report, as well as an abstract suitable for distribution at your oral presentation is due on the Tuesday before your presentation date.
When available, the primary paper is linked to the title. To view the papers, you must have Adobe's Acrobat Reader software installed. In some cases you may also have to be on the University of Richmond network to have the credentials to be able to see the full paper.
On dates where we have three presentations, one of the group letters will have an asterisk, *, after it. This means that students in that group can choose which particular talk they want to attend. Of course, you are always allowed to attend more student talks that just the one to which are are assigned.
The 'Type' in the table below denotes whether the talk is on the student's own research, R, or a subject from primary research literature, L.
