You will need to take notes with paper and pen on this day.  You may not use your computer.  It is distracting to the speaker.   Do not take your computer out.  I do not want to ask you to put it away.  You will get a grade of 0 if I have to ask you to put it away.

 

You may not have your cell phone ring or vibrate during the presentation or you will get a grade of 0.

 

This is an assignment that you will need to do on your own.  You may not record the speaker or contact them after the talk to ask for their presentation.
