Unapproved absences will force a reduction in final grade. The oral presentation . Because we have only nine students, each of you will have a whole class period to present. Your formal presentation should be about hour long followed by a discussion period. It is helpful to present written handout materials and use good presentation tools such as the white board, PowerPoint, etc.
Electronic announcements are fine.
The written presentation . This is to be on a different topic than the oral presentation. It should be between 10-15 pages in length plus a cover page and bibliography. You are responsible for that yourself. The Center for Academic Excellence may be helpful here.
