W4 Assignment: will be due on 02/03/24 and is worth 20 points. You will choose only one topic listed below, and start your research. You will create 12-14 (or more) slides that will capture all elements of your topic, with minimum of three-five peer reviewed sources. Your last slide will have the references you have used for this project. Please note, the text cannot be used as a reference, points will be docked if you rely on the course text book, so you can explore the CJA world beyond the text, and see what others have to say about it besides the text author. You will load your PPt in W4 drop box. One slide should provide the case/topic in a nut shell, please do not waste too many slides on repeating what I already know! Your analysis should include one-two examples that will justify your position. About 3-5 references will suffice. You will load your PPt in W4 drop box. Your PPt will be graded on content relevance and depth, grammar, punctuation, spelling, difficulty, and readability. This will comprise 20% of your course grade.
