Some Random Bits of Advice

Print your paper out ahead of time (it will be difficult to do so at Chaminade); plan ahead; get there a bit early; attend other people’s sessions if you want others to attend yours; be friendly; keep your sense of humor; try to have fun; and don’t overuse semicolons and imperatives, except when you really want to.
