    Prepare your one-page paper using this
      template.
    Guidelines for preparing your one-page paper and slides:
    
      - Always ask the course instructors regarding their rules on using the
        Internet for course works. It is allowed to use the Internet for
        preparing your presentations in this class. However, it may not be so in
        some other courses such as creative writing.
 
      - Always give references to the sources (URLs plus dates).
 
      - Check out multiple sources on a specific topic in order to obtain a
        less biased view. 
 
      - Use more reputable sources such as Wikipedia,
        Google
          Scholar, USPTO and PubMed.
        Remember that these days anyone can put anything, whether accurate or
        not, on the Internet.
 
      - You should really ask for permissions to use copy-righted materials
        such as pictures. However, this may be exempted under the fair use in
        the academia setting.
 
      - If you include sentences verbatim, they should be in quotes and, of
        course, with references. If you paraphrase, you don't need to put it in
        quotes. Just cite the source.
 
      - Use superscripted TM and ® for registered trademarks.

      Solidworks intro.
    (NEW!) A list of benchmarks for speaking in public. Note, no more than nine 
minutes for your presentation, and three minutes for Questions and Answers.
