Topics	Student Presentations
Class Discussion Prep	Student Presentation This will be a short summary of your paper. I suggest that you place particular emphasis on the findings in your paper that were unexpected or somehow surprising. Presentations will be 5 to 10 minutes long. Please prepare a short slide presentation (up to 10 slides). If you have created PowerPoint slides, and if you would like a TA to place the slides on the electronic white board for your use, then submit your slide file to the help desk (help@support.lis.illinois.edu) at least 24 hours before the start of class. Remember to mark the slide submission with your name and our course number (LIS590MGL). If you plan to display your slides using the application sharing feature of Blackboard Collaborate, then make sure that you know how to use the feature and that you are prepared to start your presentation when it is your turn.

Sunday, May 8, @  11:55 P.M. Additional Deadline
Written Assignments Due	Student Paper Description: During the course, each student will be working on a paper that will be completed by the end of the course. The paper will be an in-depth report on the use of formal project management tools and techniques in an actual project. Students will be encouraged to choose projects that are similar to those that they hope to manage in the workplace. This might be a project conducted by an organization with which the student is already engaged (employer, university, community) or it might be a project conducted by some other organization of interest to the student.
