Grades are based on content, originality, and presentation.
|
Clearly, the presenter must make the main idea of the research understandable
to the listener
|
The presentation need not focus on the Lit Review or on the theoretical
analysis of the research.
While you are required to get the main ideas across, you are also expected
to demonstrate your knowledge of theory as it relates to your thesis.
|
|
This reflects the ORGANIZATION of your presentation
|
If you use videos or other media, please inform me before the presentation
so I can supply the proper equipment.
|
(reliance on opinion unsupported by data/resources is insufficient). |
See your syllabus for the required time. Time yourself: be neither
too short nor long.
|
A good discussion will improve your grade, but discussion is no substitution
for presentation.
|
(Ignore this section if you are a single presenter) If your presentation is to be done as a team, and one member is not present when the presentation is due, the rest of the team is expected to continue. If before your presentation one or more members are not performing,
you are to inform the Professor as soon as possible & fill out &
turn in a Team Performance Form

1. Too short. 2. Reading from computer screen ( use note cards & speak to the group ) 3. Too much info on power point ( just have a few bulleted phrases
