Presentation in final week of classes. Isn having a presentation in the final week of classes against MIT rules?
A. Thanks for keeping track of the rules. We appreciate students being overloaded in the last week of the term. When these rules were introduced, we checked with the chair of the faculty whether a 5-minute presentation of a project that was due a week earlier is in violation of the rules or not. In this case, the presentation and the report should be considered as a single assignment that was due on the last Thursday on which assignments can be due, in a class with no final in the last week of classes. The presentation itself is a low-key event and falls under class participation; to keep the workload under control we have assigned no reading for the section in which the presentations happen.
