POL Prep - Day 8 - Practice and Critiques

Day 8 (Wednesday, 12/6)- Practice and Critique
Announcements

1. POLS Start THURSDAY!  Make sure you have reminders in your phone for your presentation and paneling times!  There have been a few minor changes- I think I’ve talked to everyone they apply to, but you might check the schedule really quickly to make sure.
2. Electives- Run through the end of this week- make sure you are at all your elective classes this week!
3. Research Briefs- You need to have read and annotated the issue briefs for the day you are paneling BEFORE you show up to panel. Make sure you have questions ready to go for their Q&A. We will give you the research briefs right now- it is on you to keep track of them.  Show up unprepared, and you will be required to read research briefs and panel an additional time.  If your research brief is still not completed, you must digitally share it with your panelists.

Pass Out/Distribute Issue Briefs
Save these!  Read them!  Don’t lose them!
