You are expected to work in teams of at least 2 in order to develop a 30-40 minute presentation to be given in class twice a year on an issue related to your major.   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.  These oral/written presentations, in addition to the in-class Essays/Reading tests that will follow them, will replace your Mid-Term & Final exams.
