2. Meet with me (virtually) before your presentation as a group (5%)

In this meeting, you should come prepared with your thoughts on the material and two discussion
questions. You only need to come with draft questions. I will help you formulate further.
Your questions could be A) clarifying questions B) application of the concept in a different context C)
Creative/Critical evaluation of the reading.
3. Present to the class (10%)
A) Summary B) Your reflection on the reading C) Discussion Questions.
You don’t need a power-point but you can if you want to. The team can decide if you want to split the
reading presentation among its members or if they want to make a group effort of leading the discussions.
All points are individual. Your marks are based entirely on your presentation, discussion with me, and
your submission.
4. Reflective summary submission (400-500 words) to be uploaded on the UMS. (5%)
