This will be a timed presentation with Q/A from the audience, and the presenters will be evaluated based on the preparation of slides, clarity, and coverage of the topics discussed.

• 5% Class Participation: Students are required to attend each class and participate in the Q/A phase of the presentation. Absence from more than 10 percent of the scheduled class sessions, whether excused or unexcused, is excessive, and the instructor may choose to deduct the class participation points for such absences. It is of particular importance that a student who anticipates absences in excess of 10 percent of the scheduled class sessions receives prior approval from the instructor.
