Audience member students are asked to write a one minute essay about each presentation that details what they have learned by listening. This assignment requires you to cooperate with three other students to answer four questions about a book, a reference source, and a journal. All three of these sources can be found in the Todd Wehr Memorial Library here at Carroll College. After completing the written portion of this assignment your group will be asked to do a five-minute presentation in which you explain the qualities and uses of these sources to the rest of the class. The oral presentation you make can be based on the written answers you have provided for each question.
