presentation. This time will include 10 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for
questions and answers. Time limits will be strictly enforced and any student going

recommended.
Due to time limits students will be monitored so that all students get at least one
chance to ask a question. Participation of all students is required and a log
maintained to record that all students have participated in the question and
answer session.
