Next week most labs finishing any straggler Informational Presentations, Have Groups meet for 30 minutes and:
-Exchange Contact information of all group members
-Decide on a controversial topic
-Decide who will find the articles, and who will be moderator, and who will do what analysis

Some labs who have done this already may give their students the option of beginning Group Presentations next week.
