 ## Workload Breakdown (Tentative and might change depending on class size)
 + Presentation: 15%
     + Each student will present one paper in class, critique it, and answer questions from the class. The presentation should be about 25-40 minutes.
         + If the class size is small, we will have two presentations per student, in which case I will increase the presentation percentage to 20%.
-    + See [these guidelines](Presentation.md) for preparing your presentation.

     + See the schedule below that we will fill as we go through the term.
 + Paper Reviews: 20%

     + Each review should be no longer than 1000 words -- that is about 2 pages in 12pt font.
     + I don't care which tool you use, but please make it single column, single-spaced, 12 pt, normal margins (1 in).

 + Project: 50%
     + Done in groups of two.
     + Each group needs to find a topic to research and write a report.
