2.23 Research methods presentations - sign up and discussion

The guidesheet for doing your presentation is posted to the right.  I "modeled" the presentation style in class with respect to Jessica Stern's Denial, and I gave a very short example of what is expected in terms of the "interactive" element.  The for the activity is that you engage the class in using the research method, or in critically reflecting on how it works.  If you are unsure about how to design an activity - my office is CAS 324 and you can schedule a conference.
