Synopsis of Alumni in classroom

First you need to watch a video that I will send to you…

Instruction:
  I would like you to write a synopsis of the answers to the questions that the alumni provide and combine them into one, properly structured paper, single spaced. The paper should be no less than 500 words and no more than 750 words. Use sub-headings for each of the questions, as well as for an introduction, and a conclusion, in the introduction you introduce the event etc., and in the conclusion you summarize the discussion AND provide your own opinion about it. The latter is important, do not forget!  Under each of the question subheadings, do NOT list the answers, but rather synthesize them and present common themes or discuss interesting outliers
