Final Project Guidelines
We would like you to choose a current topic that ties in to one (or more) of the topics we covered this semester and present your information on one of the final days of class. The topic can be a controversial one or simply a current event that ties in strongly to the subjects we covered this semester. If the topic is controversial, you should attempt to present all the facts, but then reach your own conclusion based on those facts.
Specific guidelines on the project:
Paper Format
