  We are reaching the end of the course and I need a video presentation from you to evaluate the midterm work.
  
  Please use your smartphone or laptop's webcam or your camera to do a video presentation of LESS THAN 3 minutes. Then, upload the video to YouTube and embed the video in this forum.
  
  In the video, I want you to talk about these things:
  
  1. What are the important things you have learnt from this course?
  
  2. How are you going to appy and follow up what you have learnt?
  
  3. Leave a message to the whole class and the instructor.
  
  Technical help:
  
  - Click on Reply to this forum. Click on the "Insert Moodle media button". Then, choose, "Find or upload a sound, video or applet.."

  NB:
  
  - Please dress formally and mind your background.
