Groups will consist of the five members chosen during our second class meeting. Each group will present their findings in a town hall format presentation. Each presentations could be 15-20 min. and must be accompanied by a PowerPoint or other visual aid. A copy of PowerPoint must be submitted electronically immediately prior to the presentation. Volunteering for an early presentation date will be helpful to your health, wealth, and grade; otherwise you will be assigned a presentation date.
The 12-15 pp. paper, will expand upon the concepts and findings presented in the class. Papers should conform to APA format. Also, like the presentation, the paper must be submitted electronically and in paper format.
