For this presentation, please add your comments in the Discussion board A. Name three things that you learned in the presentation. B. Name at least one thing you liked in the presentation. C. Ask at least one question about the content of the presentation. Posting your responses counts towards your class participation and weekly attendance.

You are supposed to read whatever is on the video and should not be distracted by your phone, texting, or watching television. (The end credits are largely inaccurate since I have added and dropped many titles without noting them.)
