Step 3. Write a post (or create a presentation--your choice) that is a "how-to" guide for your classmates.
Research the topic, then prepare a "how-to" explaining the topic to the class. To make the post or presentation as practical as possible, give ins and outs, best practices, tips and cautions, etc., and an example (one from the real world or one from your imagination--i.e., what you'd like to do).
Your post or presentation should go into substantial detail demonstrating your expertise in the area. A purely high level explanation will not earn the highest grade--helpful details are key.
Ensure that your post or presentation includes:
The topic you selected.
An explanation of how licensing works in the topic area.
An example of a licensing deal you might do in the topic area (to illustrate the material you just explained).
