Midterm report presentations

Your goal in the presentation is to research your topic, tell us something important about it that we didn't read in our assigned texts, and lead a brief discussion. Prior to your reporting date, post a brief summary (just a sentence or two), indicate your research sources, and pose a couple of questions for discussion. You can create a powerpoint if you wish, or show a brief video clip, or read from notes or a prepared script, or just talk to us if you're comfortable extemporizing. Prepare to speak for ten minutes, then lead class discussion. If you have a topic preference, indicate that in a comment below. It should relate in some way to the general theme of public health, pandemic, etc. We'll identify or assign topics FEB 8, then begin presentations FEB 15.
