Index to Student Research Projects, fall 2004
Below are links to copies of
student research projects. These papers are provided to serve as models and as
research aids for future students as well as to create an opportunity for
present students to share their research with each other. Most of the papers are
posted "as they came in." Therefore, some editing and format problems
may remain. (Underlines, italics, and indentations are frequent casualties from
reformatting)
