Personal Conferences (Research Prospectus #5)

This week you all have the opportunity to schedule an appointment with me to discuss your final paper. We will discuss your plans for writing the final paper (Position or Proposal) and which documentation style you will use and why. Plan for no more than 15-30 minutes. Please be prepared. This conference is not mandatory but is worth 20 points. There are open times all week: Monday-Wednesday and Sunday of this week only. If you want 20 points, schedule a conference and don't stand me up. Or you can just write your 5th research prospectus. I just want to know where you stand with your project and what you hope to accomplish in the final two weeks with your final paper.
