Bio40S Presentations

Each student in Bio40S will be doing a presentation (5-7 minutes) for the class. The topic you choose may be from the list that we discussed in class, or one that you come up with on your own (as long as I okay it).

You should include at least 4 visuals, and you may also include a short (less than 1 minute) video. The presentations will begin on Tuesday, April 1st. (There will be a 10% deduction for each day late.)

Here is the evaluation sheet for the presentations.
