Student presentations are in teams of two or three, according to the topic being surveyed. based on library and web research you need to prepare a 30-35 minute presentation to be delivered on the specified date. Either all team members should share the presentation time equally, or I would select a random speker from the team at the presentation time. In addition, the team need to prepare a web site that has a report based on your survey, bibliography, links to on-lin resources, and a pointer to your slides.
