You are expected to work in teams of at least 3 in order to develop a 30-40 minute final presentation to be given in class every term on an issue related to the themes we have been studying.   The team will select one theme and obtain my approval.  Each member of the team will then choose, on his/her own, a different topic within this theme and also obtain my approval.  In teams, you will have to introduce and conclude the common Theme, but each member will have his/her own introduction and conclusion related to the topic they have individually chosen.  There are, as you know well, two parts to this project: Oral and Written.

The criteria used to grade the Oral Presentation will include:
