The grades will be based on a self-evaluation as well as the average of grades given by fellow group members listening to the presentation (in confidence).

5. Group presentation - 10% - on specific topics that relate to one of the Chapters within the main textbook. Each group will prepare approximately at 45 minutes activity that will highlight and concretize some of the major issues presented in the chapter. This activity will compliment the faculty member’s lecture on the subject and will hopefully make the materials more practical to the classroom. The presentations are as follows:
