Your presentation should be a discussion which illuminates how the lens applies to the game you are developing this semester. If it does not apply to your game, you need to find a game that does illustrate it. You expected to do additional research to support the lens content. You are to upload your presentation outline within one week of its presentation.

To get full credit you must discuss 4 of the lenses in the group you select. With the permission of the instructor you may discussion additional lenses for additional credit.

Attendance will be taken on the presentation dates. Students missing more than one lens discussion will be expected to write a half page summary of each lens discussion missed and submit it to the instructor prior to the end of the semester. Distance learning students need to write a critique of each discussion recorded on canvas in lieu of participating in it live.
