Comments:
Cost/Benefit Analysis: This is the presentation part of the project. You
simply need to be ready to discuss with others in the community what the
costs and benefits are to your action plan. Basically I am going to come
around and quiz you on the night of our symposium to see if you have given
some thought to what the costs and benefits are of your project. You can
only lose points here. Note cards are acceptable.
