Learners are expected to attend each class meeting and to be prepared for each day's activities, and especially to discuss readings due on due dates. Each class, students present orally to the group the content and implications of their article and how it relates to the other readings for the day. Creative methods for presenting your report are encouraged. When two presenters are scheduled you should meet with each other to plan your presentations to the class.
