Each session presents some burning topic in relation to IS. This presentation is followed by
the students’ presentation of some reading. The teacher will form groups composed by two
students. Each group will have to present two readings to the whole class. Presentations of
readings and other material should be prepared before the class. 2
The presentation should not last more than 20 minutes (app. 15 minutes is a good timing).
Slides shoud be prepared (but not too many slides) and presentation should result into a
discussion conducted and led by the presenting team. Presenters should make a brief summary
of the document and then detail their analysis of the issues raised or described by the authors.
To lead discussion, presenters should ask some questions to their audience to check whether
their message was well conveyed. The teacher can also connect some part of the presentation
content to the theories examined during the first part of the session.
