Maam Buts:
STR
- powerpoint presentations due till 9 pm day before group's schedule
- final proposal will be submitted online to strteacher.mimi@gmail.com with the following filename: GrpCode_FINALv4.0.doc (ex. Cs-01_FINALv4.0.doc) You may submit 2 days earlier from your scheduled deadline (6:00 pm, day of oral report, NO EXTENSION) so I could comment on it for revisions.
- Regarding STR1 Comprehensive exam, it's scheduled on the same day of Physics & SS. Coverage will be from the first quarter (Medicine man, Fundamantals of Research, such as identifying variables, Sampling,experimental design and statistics)and will include questions about your project proposal.
