Let’s talk about your
FINAL PAPER – The submission box is in this week’s folder

ARE THEY IN THE CORRECT ORDER?
THAT IS IT!!!!
Each part already has a grade; this assignment and the others will be averaged for your final exam grade
So now…. PowerPoint and presentation skills!

Your story will be like a story for children in some ways!
It will: • lay out the problem your research wanted to
mitigate or solve • give information you learned about the problem
from the research • end with your recommendation BASED on the
research
