- Which talk did you attend?
- Why did you select this talk and what did you know about the topic before you
- attended the talk?
- What are at least three things you learned from the talk?
- Did the talk inspire you to learn more about the topic? Why or why not?
- How do you think what you learned from the talk could be helpful for you in the future?
Please also provide a list of references used in your paper. See below for a formatting example of a talk. Please submit your answers in the assignment on Canvas by the deadline noted on the syllabus.
