Requirements of Oral Presentations

0 COMMENTS

The oral presentation is worth 20 percent of your grade. The purpose of the presentation is to ensure you become an expert on your specific reading, to work with a smaller group to understand the global significance of the reading and to engage with your classmates and professor on all of the readings. 
​
These are not intended to give the professor time off, to ensure one group member takes on the burden for his/her peers or to enable a small group of students to talk for an entire class period. 

Requirements
* Presentations should be between 15-30 minutes long in total

* Include a handout/visual prompt for the class, as well as the professor, that you post to this site (Email them to the professor the day before and she can post it)

* Briefly summarize the reading – but make the assumption everyone has completed it. In other words, highlight key terms and concepts you feel should be noted, but don’t give us a play-by-play
​
* Invent discussion questions, and/or connect the reading to current events, historical discussions/arguments, etc. 

* Form a collective opinion about the topic and support the opinion before the class. (You may use supplemental readings or other multimedia)
