I have materials (and sometimes ideas), in my office or on line resources, that can be mined for examples, supplemental materials, etc. Groups may want to met with me to get materials or ideas. The lists below will be culled in the near future and lists currently below will change before your presentation. The lists below are "starter kits" for your presentations that certainly can be supplemented. For each group I will also be indicating what is to be read by the entire class in preparation for your presentation (groups can make their recommendations to me as well for what they want the class to know prior to their presentation).

You can trade groups if you find a willing person. Please let me know if you do.
