GROUP COMPOSITION: initially, papers will be presented by groups of three students. You are responsible for arranging times to meet as a group to organize your discussion/presentation. Each member of each group should participate in some way during the class discussion/presentation of your group's paper. The groups are identified by letters, and the students within each group are indicated by your ID number as defined in the above list. Please note that the composition of the groups changes so that you will be "paired" with different classmates in each group in which you participate.
