Current Events
Every Friday at the start of class, a group of 3 students
will make a powerpoint (or pdf) presentation of networking related
current events centered on a published article in non-scholastic
outlets (e.g., news clips, magazines).
The article should be current (at most one month old).
Another group of 3 students is responsible
for leading the questioning. This second group will
then be responsible for presenting the following week. The
presentation and discussion are time-limited to (at most) 15 minutes.

Guidelines
-
The presentation should not take more than 5 minutes; this
implies that there are at most 4-5 slides. The presentation
should be practiced and timed to achieve this constraint
in the absence of questions.
-
The presentation should first summarize the gist of the
article. At most 4 bullets should suffice. Following
Einstein's recommendation, make it as simple as possible
but not simpler. Important
terms should be defined, verbally or in the slide.
-
Indicate why the article is interesting and/or
relevant, i.e., why you have chosen the article.
-
Indicate if the article is accurate, its strong points and
weak points.
-
Inject your own viewpoints. If they differ from the
article specify why. Be logical/factual.
