Assignments for Monday February 3, 2003

Dress code for the video-con is "business casual".  Let's look sharp!


0. Do not forget Pascal Lee's talk on Saturday (11 am Thomas 100).  
   You are all invited to lunch after the talk.

1. Next installment of Red Mars, read Part V "Falling Into History"

2. In preparation for John Logsdon's videcon, print out a copy of the
   questions and be sure to have read his article: 

   Just Say Wait to Space Power 
   At this page, click on "Reports and Publication" and then find the
   link titled "Just Say Wait to Space Power".

   (You were supposed to have read this for last week.)  Chris will
   make a brief Powerpoint presentation on this article.

3. Each of you is to make a 4 slide, 5 minute Powerpoint presentation
   on the below articles.  The first 3 slides will be content and the
   4th slide will be conclusions/summary.  Bring them in on a floppy
   disk to give to me.  You will have this disk returned to you.  You
   will be graded on clarity, content, presentation, and your success
   at keeping it at 5 minutes.
