Each team will be able to communicate through its own discussion section on BeachBoard (BB); team members can also communicate via e-mail, phone, or any other preferred and accepted mode of communication by all members.

The team leader will submit the Presentation to BeachBoard (BB) and to the dropbox. Be sure every member’s name is on the cover page. I expect to see creativity, graphics and information that is thorough enough for the reader to understand. Since this is strictly posted and not presented in person, the information must be clear and concise. Each member of the group is responsible for at least 3 references which will be cited in the text and in a reference list on the last slide. The first slide and the last slide do not count as part of the minimum number.

In general, choose a topic that is relevant to the course topics and discussions, on the one hand; and on the other, something that is relevant to your own professional, personal, and/or academic experience and interests.

The Paper must be written and organized according to APA format; particularly, pay attention to citations and references of research sources, and to the correspondence between citations in text of your essay and references at the end. It is expected that you will be using at least 10 different sources (minimum); that will include academic publications, national/international database, media/news reports, etc… The paper will be submitted to the dropbox.
