2. Record the video in a quiet location so that background noise and interruptions are minimized;
3. You are required to create a series of Powerpoint slides with talking points to assist your
presentation;

6. Practice numerous times beforehand and/or with a friend so that you are confident.
You should refer to at least three (3) relevant theories/concepts that you have covered in the subject in
