Presentation topics are offered on a first come first serve basis.
Groups of no more than three should choose one of the topics below to be
presented the last class period. The presentation should last from
15-20 minutes with time allowed for a few questions. Grades for the presentation
will be based on instructor evaluation, evaluation by all class members
excluding members of the group presenting the topic, and an evaluation of
individual efforts within the group while putting together the
presentation. You should consider what skills you bring to the group, what
skills the other members bring, and what you take away from the activity. No topics will be duplicated.
Be
sure you print a copy of the oral presentation hints available from the class
page. An electronic copy of each presentation is due to me one day prior to the presentation date. The presentation will be placed on the web for
observation by outside parties.
Your presentation should not try to encompass too much material. Remember you only have 15-20 minutes. This could be a presentation to a new client, a group of colleagues, or a continuing education class. However, the topic, style and presentation format must be decided by your group. Everyone in the group is not required to speak, however, you should realize that choosing a single presenter means that the group is responsible for that decision and any grades from the presentation that are the result of that choice are shared by the group.
No group member may martyr themselves to potentially raise other group member scores because of a poor presentation. You should present material that you are comfortable with and that "you know well." It is not a good idea to pick a subject or topic that you are not comfortable with or cannot become comfortable with before the presentation. The greatest failure of any presentation is the lack of preparation and practice on the part of the presenters. I suggest that you concentrate on:
providing an explanation of material covered in class that you feel could use review or
material covered in class that you would like to provide a more in-depth discussion, or
material not covered in class that interests you and you believe would be of interest to the rest of the class.
Remember, your grade will be assessed on three dimensions:
instructor evaluation,
audience evaluation,
within group evaluation of individual efforts.
To view each presentation select the presenter's name(s).
