How did you guys feel about doing the same topic as the other group?

+        Good division of talking by determination of the work they put in.

+        Good way to connect with audience with Hannah Montana => dancing on Robin Thicke, the movie Wolf on Wall Street, and a scenario from South Park.

+/-   Took the idea of prostitution o how people can relate on a daily bases like paying for you girlfriend – paying for sex.

-   Got off topic sometimes

-   I personally got lost as to what they were arguing until the end. As well as what the problem and question was.

-   Started running out of time, and felt rushed towards the end.

-   Didn’t end all that strong.

Group presentations April 28th

Group 1: Altered State of Legality by Spencer, Thai and Melissa

+  Had a lot of background information

-   Very little verbal citations when presenting

-  Wasn’t too sure when to go on to the next slide.

+  Good volume (projection of voice)

+  Showed different viewpoints on their topic.

+  But got it down as the presentation went on

+  but towards the end started to verbally cite

-   There was a lot of text on the slides.

+   Good visuals and explaining the pictures

Money distribution from who to the athlete(s)?

+  Like the use of offering different modes of changes that can be made with the NCAA

+ For the most part – very good volume and voice projection

+  Good arguments for and against.

How would college student-athletes getting paid change the dynamic of school and playing in prioritization?

How about for those who get red-shirted, do they get paid the same as the starters?

Group 3: Fast Food in America by Matt, Jose and Brett
