current news presentation

One time this semester, you will make a short (5- to 10-minute) presentation on current development-related news. You should summarize at least one newspaper or magazine article that is related to the country you are researching this semester (2 points), and then relate this news to a topic we have discussed in class (3 points). The purpose of these presentations is to work out ways of applying what we discuss in class, to hear a perspective from fellow students on their research, and to stimulate discussion. The schedule will be posted on CULearn, and you can find some starting points for current news in the “web resources” section of the course homepage. [Updated 2008-05-12: I’m hoping that “current” means as current as possible – with in the past week or two, hopefully, though important stories from as far back as six months ago are fine.]
