Prepare a PowerPoint (~10 min) presentation about your topic. This presentation is intended to educate your classmates on your chosen topic, and inspire discussion. It should focus on a bit of history of understanding, recent breakthroughs, ongoing research, and/or new information regarding your topic. Furthermore any controversy and gaps in current understanding should be included.

In approaching your topic, I encourage critical thinking and an approach that mirrors the Scientific Method (Observation, Question, Hypothesis, to set up the topic). Then you can proceed with presenting relevant information that supports and refutes your hypothesis.

You may work in groups of 1-3 students per group. Each member of a group should contribute equally during the presentation. Visual aids such as PowerPoint presentations and/or handouts are strongly encouraged. The lab computer and projector will be available. Students will not be allowed to use their own computers. Please share your assignment with me (kblaisdell@usfca.edu) through Drive before class Fri Nov 22.
Timing of the presentation is based on the number of students per group:Presentation length:
1 Student5 minutes
2 Students9 minutes
3 Students13 minutes
