另外，每位學生需要在本課程的最後一堂課準備一份對自己作業的簡要報告。　除了作為你的課堂表現分數的一部份；　更重要的是，　這個非正常的報告可以用一個較輕鬆的方式來為同學們回顧及引伸某些在這學期中我們所接觸到的概念。
Also be prepared to deliver a brief account of your paper on our final day of class. More than being part of your participation grade, this informal presentation will be a convivial way to revisit and extend with your classmates some of the concepts we've encountered this term.
