Article Presentations

1. Select a specific IT-related topic within the current chapter of the text
2. Search the Internet or other sources for an article about that topic (article MUST be a minimum of 1000 words and the article MUST be VERY IT-related). It is much better if the article you find is fairly interesting, so search for a good one.
3. An article should not be older than five years.
4. Send an email (subject line: CIS 429 article) to the instructor with the name of the topic found in the text and a link to the article or an attached digital copy of the article (include in the email the page in the textbook where the specific topic is found). If you can't link to the article or attach a digital copy, you MUST bring a hard copy of the article to class.
5. Give a 3-5 minute oral presentation of your topic including where and how you found the article and the major ideas contained in the article (you can use note cards but do not read the presentation). If possible display the article on the classroom computer and note any important pictures or charts.
6. The presentation will be graded on the quality of the ideas presented and the quality of the presentation (you are easy to understand, your points are made well, your presentation is logical and interesting, you didn't read the presentation, etc.)
