Notes on presentations
Presentation duties should rotate among team members. Presentation and verbal communication skills are important; use this as an opportunity to practice in a friendly environment. Everyone should give at least part of one presentation during the term.
I know some people have anxiety about public speaking. If you do not feel able to take a turn presenting to the class, come talk to me about it.
