Project Stage 1 (which is attached below) should be handed out on Thursday or Friday of this week (Sept 3 or 4) regardless of whether we have gotten to the Mathematica Intro yet. You will probably need to plan on 1o-15 mins to talk to the students about. HAVE WE CHANGED THIS? I think I'm going to handout today (Wed. 9/2), then do Mma Activity Friday (and possibly give them some time Monday to finish up - the FIP kids struggle with Mma).
the project and what it's purpose is,
remind them of the Project Help Session and encourage them to go as the project is worth a large portion of their grade
talk to them about the data sources and remind them that all of the data they will find there will not be appropriate so they will have to look for what they think is relevant
remind them again that we need the input to be a "number" and the ouput to be a "number"
I will probably remind them when thinking about questions remember that they have to be able to be answered by the graph.
Add anything in here if I've forgotten something!
