When you are preparing your paper and presentation, it is suggested that you do not leave it until the last weekend. Instead, you should plan for gradual progress. First find and make a list of all the material that is relevant to your topic, read and evaluate it. You should aim at finishing this stage by the first of March. You will then use 3 weeks to write your paper. You should be able to submit your paper to your opponents and to prof Kantola by the end week 12 in late March. You will then use the remaining time to prepare your presentation and do improvements on your paper.
