The oral presentation is worth 15 percent of your grade. The purpose of the presentation is to ensure you become an expert on your specific reading, to work individually or with a small group to come to an in-depth, unique understanding of 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 their peers or to enable a small group of students to talk for an entire class period. Requirements * Presentations should be between 15-20 minutes long in total. * Include a handout or visual prompt for the class, as well as the professor, that will be posted on this site. (Email them to the professor by 10 a.m. the day of the presentation 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. This latter part is important; the presentation is NOT a book report. * Invent discussion questions, and/or connect the reading to current events, historical discussions/arguments, etc. This should be the bulk of the presentation. Show off your critical thinking. * Form an opinion about the topic and support the opinion to the class. To do this, you must use supplemental readings or other multimedia. Supplemental readings must be evidenced to earn an A on the presentation. |
