Reference no: EM132213997

Written report & class presentation

Students (groups of 2 to 3) are to jointly research and present a case law decision related to a tax topic or part of a tax topic. The presentations should summarise the issues and decisions relevant to the case. A good presentation will include a good analysis of student thoughts on these decisions (with reasons).

Students will be provided with a list of cases relevant to a particular topic from which to choose (refer to attached list).

Cases and groups will be chosen and allocated in weeks 1 & 2 and presentations will be in Week 6, session 6.2 during class time.

No two groups will be able to choose the same case. Every group must have a different case to present so first in first served!

If you have not chosen your case by the end of week 2 (15/06/2018), then you will be allocated both a group member and a case.

Presentations should be 10min (max) in duration for a team with 2 members and 15 min for a team with 3 members. All students must participate in the presentation.

Presentation slides: Please ensure that the first slide of your presentation includes the following information

Students must ALSO prepare a report (Maximum 2 pages, 800 words) for the lecturer. The handout MUST have the cover page. This written report (hardcopy only) is due by week 5.2

How will your presentation be marked?
