In LAB 12, teams of 3-4 students will prepare and present a 20-30 minute group oral presentation that is worth 25 points, based on the assessment of the class and your instructor of the presentation's quality.

Grading rubrics will be provided. You will also be provided with links and handouts of helpful information about making an oral presentation.
