To learn more about the issue and proposed solutions,

Discussion Question: Explain what the situation is like now and ask $-$ do you support this project? Explain why yes or why not.

It is expected that the group would have read, analyzed, and can explain the main issues in the case study, and is prepared to lead the class through an insightful discussion of relevant aspects. All groups will present their own share of analysis and recommendations. The groups are also expected to engage the audience in a reflective discussion of issues.

Structure of your presentation:

$1.$Recommendation $$ Explain what is done and what can be done to mitigate the issues identified in your case study. Find some good examples of handling a similar situation and successfully solving the issues identified in the case study. $(3$ slides, $1$ person$)$

$2.$Conclusion $(1$ slide, same person who did the introduction and probably put this presentation together can make it$.)$

Note: to engage the audience, after you present, you can ask the audience questions to test how well they understood your presentation, so prepare those questions in advance during team brainstorming. Also, you can present the class with $1$ discussion question and generate the responses, so prepare $1$ discussion question in advance
