Dear Fellow,

Please note that this PPT is a rough outline only. You must have answers to
all the questions by the end of your fellowship period. This will support you in
your final write-up.
For now, kindly save one copy of this PPT for your reference, and in another
PPT file, start with your Baseline ppt (we encourage you to be creative with
your PowerPoint, the PowerPoint should not be in a question-answer
format.) In your baseline ppt, try to address as many questions as you can
(You need not answer all the questions right now for your initial submission.
Just answer what you know/what information you have so far).
Once you have prepared your Baseline PPT, upload it into the google drive
we shared [Please ensure that the name of your PPT file is YOUR FULL
NAME before uploading]. You will continuously update this Baseline PPT so
that all the questions are fully addressed by the end of your fellowship
period. Each week, there will be a review of your PPT to track your progress.
