Lucky for you I have a degree in Philsophy. You want to discuss Hume's rejection of a Necessary Being, and the problem of induction. You also wanted to discuss the K-K thesis, not in depth but at least give an overview of how we know that we know. Formulate the question as following: How can there be knowledge a priori?

Have you addressed Kant's a priori cognition? I know its a very technical theory but you may want to read up on it and discuss how reality can never be objectively known because the prism of knowledge redirects and filters direct sensory experience. However, for extra points you can probably add Sartre's counterpoint that the implicit consciousness perceives sensory data before we are consciously aware of it. This has been confirmed in cognitive psychology.

You may also want to address Cartesian reality

 


And perhaps some form of Post-modern epistemology?



Yes.
