You are welcome to review PowerPoint presentations from previous years. If you wish to use these to assist you in creating your own materials, you may do so. It is NOT plagiarism if you use these materials and clearly state that you are using them (including information about the degree to which you are using the previous materials and the degree to which the work is your own new contribution). IT IS PLAGIARISM to use these materials without such a statement.

Since I am allowing you to use materials from previous years, I also am expecting that you will add significant materials of your own in terms of the actual presentations you make, including the homework assignment, class presentations, and class activities.
