PAPER/PRESENTATION:
This paper or presentation is designed for you to learn about something which interests you. Choose an area of interest that you have in medical physics and learn more about it. I do not want you to do a research paper per se, but rather read the literature, work off of the internet, as well as look at other texts, and learn about a topic that would benefit you. You can either write a paper or make a POWERPoint presentation.
Paper: If you chose to do a paper, submit it on the due date. It should be a few pages long. There is no minimum length required, just make your work complete and thorough.
PowerPoint: If you chose to submit a PowerPoint preseIation, on the due date print of the slides and turn that in.
I am going to ask around 10 or so students to present either their paper or PowerPoint presentation to the class.I will select them based on topics that I think the class will find interesting. Should I ask you, you do not need to present it in front of the class.
I can help you with ideas if you desire. For ideas on what you can write or prepare a presentation on click here.
GRADING
You can all earn an "A" grade in this course. There is no absolute scale. I want everyone to do well, and will do what I can to help.
