Timetable for presentations

Each presentation is give a slot of 30min. This includes 15min presentation and 10-15min of questions/discussion. You sign up for the presentations on the list that can be found in the same place as you hand in your homework. The presentations will take place in room 523 on floor 5 at Teknikringen 14. If you do not know where this is please follow the path to CAS here . You will need to use the stairs to the 5th floor and wait outside (you cannot enter the corridor, it required an access card) for us to let you in. Please do not knock on the door as people on the floor are trying to work and will not appreciate being disturbed every 30mins for 3 days. Be there 5min before you are scheduled to present.
