Oral Presentation

Work in a group of 4-5 people.  Each person has to find an article, no older than 1 year, about the subject.

If you have doubts, email the article to me:  nsenne2009@gmail.com

Use the main ideas of the article to create a presentation & commentary on the subject
in general.  Do cite the article (Title, date, source, author), but don’t focus only on the
article since we won’t be reading it.
