Students will select partners and topics tomorrow (Friday). In order to ensure that many review topics are covered, only one person or partner will be allowed to do their project on each topic. Therefore, it is possible that a student may not get his or her top choice for topic. Students who choose to work alone will have first pick of topics.
Thanks!
