A copy of the document you will use must be submitted to the instructor for approval.

Document Find an English document pertinent to a topic in your university field of study or planned
profession, 6000 words or more. The document has to be substantial and specialised, i.e.
written by professionals in the field for other professionals in the field.

You will use the document as the basis of an oral presentation and an essay. You do not
have to summarise the entire document but explain some of the concepts it deals with.
Check around until you find something that interests you and that gives you enough
material for an informative oral and essay.
