Overview
Presentations should be no longer than 10 minutes in length and summarized using MS PowerPoint or other visual resources. Slides and materials must be well-organized, clear, grammatically correct and visually appealing. Please send me an electronic copy prior to class. As the presentations are often information rich, I frequently receive requests from course members seeking PDFs for future reference.
Everyone has an obligation to present and failure to do so will result in zero credit for this component of the grade.
