Topics for 2nd Group Presentation (Displays)

Geology 101, Winter 2005


Where: BI-102/104

When: Thursday, March 17th. You are not supposed to remain with the project. There is no verbal presentation, and don't expect one.

Evaluation: Required for full credit. Use the form provided in class the day before the presentation. You may evaluate each display at any time during the day depending on your schedule. Turn in your evaluation sheets the next time class meets.

Hints: Projects should be stand-alone displays effectively marketing your information. Remember that your grade is dependent on how other students perceive your project. Collectively as a group, choose one topic from any of the three groups listed below, decide how you would like to divide the work (including the background research), and how you would like to construct your presentation. If you have special considerations, please contact me through email (bleatham@wiley.csusb) or during office hours or before or after class. Good luck and good hunting!!!
