Make sure your final is in your shared folder with me.  If I cannot see it, the grade that your group gives you will be cut in half.  If you share it afterward and I see it after I have graded the rest of the class, you will be docked 15 points.

1.  One student will present.  The other three will take the sheet and grade the PowerPoint together.  Put your names on it.

2.  Put a check mark for every slide that is there.
