31. Todays lab Those of you who did your assignment: Get in groups and give feedback to each other 1 member starts out: Setting the context and telling what this is for. Give the presentation (at the table). Rest of the group gives feedback and moves on to member 2. Eventually fix it before showing in plenary session. Those of you who didnt: Go make a slide or two in groups or solo.
