The students will be divided into groups of three/four and each group has to a) choose a paper to lead, b) write a two page summary, c) present the paper. Each group can work together in reading, writing the summaries and preparing their presentations. One student from the lead group will be chosen at random to present their paper (main presentation). They will get exactly 30 minutes to present the paper. After the main presentation, some of the non-lead groups will be asked to make a short ten minutes (at most 2-3 slides) presentation to summarize their own findings/understanding. For each group, their lead presentation will count for sixty percent of the marks, the summary presentations will be count towards thirty percent of the marks, and ten percent of the mark for class participation.
