MURC went…better than anticipated, at least for me. A lot of that is my crippling fear of public speaking – the fact that everything went relatively smoothly was very nice. Plus, I can’t say no to free food. Still, I agree with what others have said – the timing problem really screwed us up. And I think the timing of MURC within the year was bad for the course, too – if this had been a fall course, presenting would be fine, but it’s so early in second term, that I feel like I at least was still trying to figure out where I wanted to go with things when oh, hey, time to throw together a presentation, which sort of detracted on working on the paper and bigger-picture stuff.
