Homework for the last class:
1. Prepare your final presentation: 12-15 minutes on a topic of your choice. Pay attention to transitions and be sure to end strongly. Be sure to use at least one question and practice formulas for answering questions from the audience. Remember the 6Ps.
2. Bring your conclusions assignment for discussion.
3. Williams book: Review the material we covered in the Williams book--we will have a short quiz next week. Bring your book to return to Phil.
4. Review this week's presentation for your meeting, evaluating how well you handled the questions. Bring in writing as desired.
