There will be 2 presentations given throughout the semester by an individuals group.  The presentation will be
used as a summary of the current weeks lab work.  Each presentation should be approximately 15 minutes
long and incorporate all of the necessary information from the current week.  The first presentation will not 
be graded but will serve as a "warm-up" for the second graded presentation.
