Each of the project teams have subteams that take a turn introducing one of the class readings as a part of an in-class panel on the kickoff date. Members of the kickoff team typically get started on the reading one class session before the rest of the class. They then participate in a panel in front of the class to answer questions posed by an instructor (acting as moderator) and other classmates. Some of the questions from classmates will be from the list of questions given to the panelists in advance. Students in the class can also ask questions that they think of. The instructors can help field the questions that the panelists deem to be beyond their knowledge of the reading or topic.

Each panelist will come to class prepared to speak on the final panel of the topic pertaining to user experience of marginalized groups.
So many software systems have introduced products that have been scrutinized publicly for ways that they have provided experiences that affect users of marginalized groups in unexpected and/or unsavory ways.
Some of the articles reflect how some apps used to affect users, but have evolved to mitigate the concerns raised and others are more recent or still problem areas.
