Anyone pop the champagne?
On Canvas it says our paper is due Friday but I thought it was due by the exam date (Wednesday noon). Does anyone know for sure?
I’m working on my presentation, and the stress of public speaking is making it difficult to accomplish anything substantial. Trying to craft something that’s clear, concise, technical yet easy to understand, and interesting is a bit of a challenge. That, and I’m having difficulty finding something new to say that hasn’t already been said in the previous presentation or written in one of the assignments. So far, I’ve only been able to accomplish an introductory slide sans transcript and two slides with visuals, and I’m worried that I won’t have enough material for ten minutes. Furthermore, I’m terrible at improvisation. Usually I’m so nervous that I have to read directly off of my notes, so I’m trying to finish the presentation in enough time that I can know it well and be comfortable with the material when it comes time to get up in front of everyone. Anyone else having difficulty with any of these things? Any tips?

The empirical part of this project is really starting to slow down my progress on the paper. I have a bunch of numbers, but I have no idea what any of them mean. Trying to teach myself simple statistics when I have a very limited and rather poor background in math has not been easy. Hopefully I can figure it out soon!
Did anyone else find out that you were a lot more comfortable with your topic after the oral presentation
I have found all of my data that I am going to use as a part of my research. I am looking at crime rates relative to economic development among various countries. I have found plenty of data on crime rates, population, GDP etc. However, I have never used eviews or anything like it before, so I am not entirely sure how it works. Would anyone be willing to help me?
