Assignment Instructions

Prepare a short presentation on something you learned during this course that you found particularly interesting, or at least interesting enough to do some research on. (I chose Climate Change)

Here is guidance for the student presentation.

1. Look through the text and Course Materials (including the COMET Modules) for something that you find particularly interesting, or at least interesting enough to investigate further, and look around the Internet for information and graphics.

2. Microsoft Powerpoint is an excellent tool for preparing the presentation, and the notes option provides a convenient place to type in the words you would have spoken to the class if we were all assembled in a traditional classroom setting.

3. Instead of counting slides, plan your presentation to last about five to ten minutes if it could be presented to your classmates in a traditional classroom.

4. Identify your sources (including all images), either the bibliographical citation or the website. It’s important to cite all images as direct quotes and a full bibliography on the final slide.
