You should prepare 2 presentations:
  • one based on text with some short videos and photos;
  • the second one should be a video, e.g. a TED presentation with your introduction and questions to discuss.

You  moderate  your presentations (ask questions, comment on your friends’ opinions). Your moderation will be evaluated.

Moreover, each week you read/watch and comment on/ discuss your colleagues’ presentations.
Send me your presentations at least a week before the date of their publication. 
Your presentation should:
1.    consist of text (ca.400 words).
2.    include photos, videos (only in English).
3.    be interesting to read, watch and comment on. If I do not like the topic, I can ask you to prepare a new presentation.
4.    be submitted in the Word file or the Google docs (no PDF files).
5.    include the sources used.

Ignorance of the rules will result in the course failure.

Week 12 (12.01-18.01.15) Are you an early bird or a night owl ?

By

Since 1992, the Euro I standard has been in force, which limited the emission of carbon monoxide to the atmosphere. The Euro VI standard currently applies, which limits the series of exhaust gases. These include: hydrocarbons, nitrogen and carbon oxides, and dust.   The most significant change was brought by the Euro IV standard. For the first time it introduced the limitation of nitrogen oxides, which are responsible for the harmful compounds of smog.   What is smog?   Smog consists of sulfur oxides, nitrogen and carbon. In addition, solid substances such as suspended dust (PM). Dust suspend in atmospheric aerosols may be in liquid and solid form. These can be particles of sea salt, clouds from the Sahara and artificial compounds made by people. These compounds...
