Everyone must sign up for one presentation in the first half of the semester and one in the second half.
Presentations will be given in the class meeting’s that we discuss that reading.
You also need to submit a Word or PDF version as an essay assignment on BlackBoard.
Your written presentation must meet the write-up requirements in the syllabus in terms of length (the length of a 2-3 page essay = ~500-750 words) and expected content (reactive and analytical).
Pick one, then click the button to claim it. If there’s a name in bold in front of the reading name, that one’s already been picked by another student. As always I’m grateful to those who sign up for the earlier ones!
If you want to change the presentation you’ve chosen to a different one, please email me.
