Description
As you know, the third assignment for Poli 323 involves making an in-class oral presentation in one of the two final class sessions of the term. Given the number of students in the class and the available time, presentations will be limited to a set number of minutes per student. Please note that this limit will be strictly enforced. The list of which students will present on which days is available by clicking here.
Your presentation will focus on one or two things you have learned in studying political psychology and how it has changed your thinking about a populism/authortitarianism/political polarization. As with previous assignments, presentations will be graded according to the quality of analysis and synthesis presented.
Speaking notes for all presenters are to be submitted via Brightspace prior to class on June 22. These notes should consist of no more than 5 sheets/pages, i.e, a cover sheet plus 4 content pages.
