April 23rd Presentations

Achievement gap:
It was really interesting that you incorporated how SAT scores are monitored and reviewed in the collegiate applications. I also thought it was interesting that it was stated that there is a large gap in sciences and people claiming that minorities do worse on the ACT because its based (45%?) on science related topics.

Autistic Children - Animals therapy:
The only reason I know anything about this topic is because it was included in the Nicholas Sparks book, "Dear John". I thought that it was really interesting that you included a variety of different therapeutic techniques that can be utilized. I think that they really strengthened your topic, and the variety provided alternative options.

Deaf Culture:
I liked how you opened with the question and signing. Overall your presentation was probably one of the best so far. You made it so much more interesting because of your clear enthusiasm and knowledge for/about the topic. But because of your previous involvement its probably important that, in your paper, you avoid sounding too biased.
