You're right about the senior design presentations at the County. I have to be there also. Normally we use Wednesdays for student presentations. Would you like to have a class in which you present to each other?

My thoughts are that if you (the class) takes it seriously it would be worthwhile. Since I won't be there, taking it seriously means that when someone is presenting those listening ask enough questions so that you understand how the presented model works. Don't be satisfied with the general idea of how it works. Keep pressing until you really understand it. Of course, the presented should be prepared to explain the model in sufficient detail that the audience will come away knowing something they didn't know before seeing the presentation. Let's talk about it Monday.
