You may generate either a paper or a presentation using PowerPoint (or similar). I expect 3-4 pages of content (excludes title, reference page, etc) if you are writing a paper and approximately 10-15 slides if you choose to complete a PowerPoint presentation. I encourage you to do some of both, however, the format is up to the student. I also require outside research and reading as a part of these assignments. Please provide a minimum of 3 outside sources in your reference page/slide showing that you spent some time digging into the content beyond the provided reading. I encourage you to offer more. All assignments will be graded using the following criteria:
