Week 2.9: Dress Rehearsal#
This week is about finishing everything up. The research is done, and now it’s writing it and preparing your talk. There will also be some cleanup and handoffs of your research materials.
Other than a science spotlight there are no lectures and workshops this week so students have time to finish everything.
