Final
Reports
To
engage the students beyond the lectures, we asked them
to self-organize into small project teams to expand on issues
related to or motivated by the subject matter presented in
lectures. The students had roughly three weeks to focus in
on a topic and put together a brief report. This volume is
a collection of the student reports. Almost none of the students
were "experts" in the issues they studied when they
entered the program. Nonetheless, these reports show the multi-disciplinary
teams they assembled were able to dig deeply into a number
of interesting problems and point out some promising directions
for further inquiry.
