IN-CLASS GROUP PRESENTATION (10%)
The in-class presentations are to determine the groups’ ability to lead a class discussion on the case question(s) assigned (this presentation will be on cases other than your written case). The presentation should be in Powerpoint format and should be emailed to the instructor before the assigned session begins. You will have 30 minutes to do your presentation, followed by a question and answer (Q&A) session (a hard copy of your presentation slides should also be handed to the course instructor at the start of the session). The grade will be based on how well your group communicates the key concepts and ties them to the case details. Furthermore, answering questions enhances your grade, so make sure you have time left over for the Q&A.
For the presentation: * Answer ONLY the case question(s) your group was assigned
-------------------------------------------------
Groups insufficiently prepared for their presentation will be penalised against this 20%. This is to ensure that the class does not have to carry groups unwilling to put sufficient effort into their preparation. If a team decides to exclude a team member, the team’s decision is final and the individual will have to submit an individual assignment for this part of his or her grade.

One was team, one will be the individual. To be honest, I have never done any form of presentation before in my school life. The reason is that I come from China which is a totally different country. We have another education mode in my country, there is always no need to do presentations or projects in school work. And now, I have outcome my edge. I have discussed with my teacher and group members about creating an interesting and meaningful presentation. Then, we made it, and I was proud of myself and all my team members.

On September 26th, this is when the plan is due and we should have read everyone’s abstract by this date. Following the abstracts, we will meet to discuss the text and its significance. Once we have discussed the texts, we will draw certain topics that we feel are vital for the class’s comprehension of the text. By September 28th, we each should have picked the topics of discussion we would like to expand on. As mentioned before, Jasmine will focus on “”, Noah will focus on “”, Aaron will discuss “” and Tiarra will focus on “”. Then for the next two weeks, we will work on the discussion paper that is due on October 12th. Everyone will write a few paragraphs (we were thinking about a page for each topic as we weren’t really sure as to how long the discussion should be). And then we would designate a day where everyone would meet and revise/edit the paper to ensure that there are no grammatical errors and that everything flows nicely. Since we will be presenting on November 4th, we will spend the rest of the time, which is roughly about three weeks working on the PowerPoint presentation. Throughout the three weeks, we will construct the presentation, focusing on abstract pictures that describe our topics that will allow for interesting discussion that engages the audience, we will also be working on how to construct flow for .
