Presentations

Each presentation will be on a case study, either from the book or one you come up with yourself (that’s relevant to the day’s topic). The aim is to give more detail than is in the book from your own research. You must cite your source(s) for every claim you make in your paper. Books are preferred to web pages, and be sure to avoid dubious sources. A good source to use is INFOTRAC (use the code in the card in the front of your textbook). Check with me in advance if you are unsure of the correct format.
