PRESENTATION TIME GUIDELINES

Presentations begin November 13 and continue through December 6. Your presentation will be posted to one of the dates in the table below:
 

PRESENTATION LOGISTICS

Do you need any additional software? (Power Point is installed on our computer.) Please let me know.

If you need to change a date, please check with another presenter about switching and let me know ASAP!

If you use a zip cartridge, it cannot be bigger than 100 MB. Our machine drives will not take 250 MB cartridges.

REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR HANDOUTS! It is helpful to include a page or so of references so that people can follow up an interest in the topic. Otherwise, you can print your power point slides (the presentation will be posted to our Blackboard site too), hopefully large enough to be deciphered.

Each student will lead one class discussion (about 15 minutes) centered around their course project topic.

You should:

prepare a two to three page synopsis handout for class distribution

the handout and the presentation should summarize the major points on the conceptual and empirical literature on your topic. The synopsis outlines your topic, discusses major concepts and findings, and highlights directions for future research.

You will do a brief presentation (15-20 minutes) and lead a brief discussion on the topic

You may use varied media in your presentation/discussion. Our class room has an overhead projector, computer for PowerPoint, a VCR/DVD and other audio-visual aids. One group last year video'd part of their experiment for their presentation.
 
 

Make a copy of your handout for you, the entire class, and for me.

Try leaving 5 minutes for questions and discussion (I know, that's only 10-15 minutes for a presentation, but remember, people can scan the handout!)

Include examples in your presentation and handout. Concrete examples are a very helpful way to illustrate concepts.

A bibliography at the end of your handout is a good touch so interested persons can follow up on the topic. This really will be appreciated.

Check out Power Point presentations from earlier classes on Blackboard.

You will need either Power Point or the Power Point viewer (available on virtually all university computers) to view these presentations.
 
 

AND MORE INFORMATION WILL BE PROVIDED LATER ABOUT THE PRESENTATION
