Note: Failure to provide a list of references for all references cited in the presentation and include quotation marks, author(s), year, and page (p.) or paragraph (para.) numbers for direct quotes from references and the author(s) and date for all other citations is plagiarism. It is expected that there be will citations on each slide of your presentation other than your title slide and the slide(s) used to provide your list of references. An act of plagiarism will result in a 0 on this performance task and a one letter grade deduction from your final course grade.
