Prepare a presentation on your draft essay, to be presented in class (dates to be by sign up/assigned by the Professor). The presentation should be accompanied by a brief visual presentation you will share with peers.
The purpose of the presentation is to share the progress on your assignment (a draft of the essay should be
completed but you are presenting highlights). Visual Presentations may be in a format of the student’s
choosing and should be no longer than 10 minutes in length.
You should present:
(1) your research question/thesis (as evolved since the outline);
(2) a general description of what you anticipate being able to say about your topics in your essays; and
(3) a quick survey of questions/challenges/observations about the research process.
This is intended to provide an opportunity for the class to showcase research in progress, but should still
demonstrate significant progress beyond your essay outline
The mark for the presentation will be based on: (1) evidence of progress on our research question/thesis
beyond what was presented in the essay outline; (2) presentation of relevant and developing content
regarding your selected trade law topic and thoughtful observations/questions about the research process or
outstanding; and (3) content quality of the presentation. On the first point, I am looking for you to
demonstrate that you are advancing the project. Regarding the second point, the presentation should include at least preliminary answers/arguments related to your research question/thesis. In other words, you should
show that you have moved beyond the outline content that focused on “I will be looking at…” to more
advanced research output (e.g. “what my research shows so far is…” along with general commentary and
observations such as “I am finding it difficult to locate data on this point..” or “I was surprised to see…”). is
due prior to class on the day of your presentation.

Professors comments on the outline to be used:
“Hi, I think it is a great topic. I might challenge the IMF finding that Canada has a good system in place. For example the US State department categorized Canada as a a country of primary concern for money laundering. I would encourage you to challenge their assessment. ”

If you use photos for the presentation the linaqwks need to be provided.
