How to cite modern bibliography:Each student must choose a different topic. If there is something you really want, let me know as soon as possible.
Each student must verify the topic with me in advance. Anyone who hands in a project without having chosen it in advance and informed me of the choice will receive three-quarters credit if it is a unique topic and zero credit if it is a topic that someone else already has.
