Prepare a fifteen (15) minutes power point presentation.
One presenter from each group will be randomly selected to present. Therefore,
everybody should be prepared.
If a member from the group fails to attend class without justification he/she will have
zero points in the presentation (not the whole group).
During the presentation I will ask question to anybody of the group regarding the
presentation (especially non presenters!).
The final grade will depend on the overall group performance.
Presentation format:
a. Introduction: no more than 2 slides
b. Analysis: present the main findings. Not necessarily everything. Keep in mind YOU
WILL NOT HAVE MORE THAN 15 MINUTES. Time management is part of the
presentation’s grade.
c. Conclusion: one slide.
Advice 1: for a 15 minutes presentation do not prepare more than 6 slides.
Advice 2: practice your presentation with the rest of the group, nothing helps more than
practicing.

presentations unless there is a justified reason for missing the class.
Final grade: 15 points for the written part and 10 points for the presentation. 25 points total.
