Imagine you have been asked to represent your department at Explore SDSU, a virtual open house for potential incoming SDSU students, where attendees learned about different majors.
Your job is to create an online presentation (using Prezi, Google Slides, Powerpoint, Canva, etc.) that explains your major and its societal significance to an unfamiliar audience.
Additionally, you will conduct research in order to explore a current controversy in your field. This should even further establish why your major is important. Your research must include 2 academic (peer reviewed) sources and 2 contemporary news sources. Each reference to a source must include an attribution sentence and a direct quote.
Make sure your presentation is visually engaging and makes use of frequent transitions to lead the viewer through the thought process.
