Case: You need to also prepare a one-page A4 summary of the presentation covering the main points and all the references; print and circulate the copies of the summary page to all the students present in the class and the tutor. The objective is to share your hard work with your fellow students to help them prepare with the possibility of accessing your references.
PLEASE NOTE:
1. The objectives of presentations are to (i) stimulate group discussion/analysis, (ii) help students gain presentation skills, (iii) use the material cited but possibly back this up with other material where necessary.
2. Try to make your presentation an interesting and challenging learning experience for your colleagues.
