After the presentation you may receive feedback from your peers and superiors which will allow you to address any gaps and improve future presentations. Further, for those staff members who cannot attend, you might be required to write a report to ensure they are informed. This assignment assists you in improving the skills required to research a topic and communicate relevant material and insights via a presentation and report. As a result, you will be more comfortable with preparing and delivering professional presentations as well as taking on feedback to further develop your skills.

You are required to conduct research on the topic provided by drawing on appropriate resources. The assessment includes a presentation as well as a written report.
The following material is relevant for the report.

d. Theory: What theories apply? 
e. Research: What are the findings / conclusions drawn from relevant empirical research?
