Team D Navigates Confusion in Zappos Presentation Challenge

In this engaging account, Team D faces the perplexing task of presenting about Zappos, with conflicting instructions from their professor, Vragov. As the team struggles to clarify their assignment over several days, they navigate communication hurdles, confusion over presentation formats, and the dynamics of working together. Roles are assigned, files are prepared, and despite setbacks, they strive to deliver a successful project. Ultimately, they face disappointment when their hard work isn't showcased, prompting a letter of disagreement to the professor.
