2) Plan a group presentation on a chosen topic from the list below, it will be presented on April 26 and 27, 2019. Al groups should be ready by then, and groups will be picked randomly.
3) Everyone is expected to read all the readings as listed below. Don't worry, they're not as toxic as some readings, they will constitute a quiz which will be administered on May 3, 2019.
For the presentation. Form groups of 7 - 8 members. Make sure to fill up to 7 members before proceeding to accumulate to 8. Based on the current population, there should be very few groups (probably 1 per block) that reach 8 members.
