Gear Up for the End of the Year Presentations

FINAL PRESENTATION:

They will happen on Wednesday June 15, 2005 from 9-11 AM during that final test block, and therefore may be the last academic item for you this year.

You will be passing in organized electronic folders of all your work as well, as well as any prepared parts of your presentation.

Showtime is 15 minutes/per person Ethan and Max will combine the time for 30 minutes for the two. There is no way you can show all your work, so talk fast, be prepared, and don’t wait for us – jam the knowledge out there.

Jon Powell and Robert will be joining us as faculty evaluators - and their written/verbal opinions will count on your behalf.

I would like to announce that other interested students would be welcome to listen, if you are all right with that.

In general, plan on being precise and prepared, with only a few minutes for questions each.

Order will be by random draw, but you will know in advance by the Friday June 10 at class

GUIDELINES:
PREPARED sequence of material that you are showing us, hand out an outline, or refer to a simple Powerpoint of what you are presenting.
SUMMARIZE for us, your goals for the semester, and your strategy for meeting the goals you did. [did you use textbook lessons, online material, guess and test only, did you change your methods or adjust your goals…. ,etc?? ]
WALK US THROUGH an overview of the software program(s) that you used, describing the functions and potential of the programs, and then limitations of those programs, installation or computer issues, and talk about the correlation with the text(s) that you chose.
SHOW US YOUR WORK and what you accomplished. There is no way you can show us all the particulars, so give an overview, and then choose ONE or TWO examples of what you learned – walk us through a lesson that you have prepared and practiced to show us.


IN GENERAL:
Be ready, we don’t want to see you fumbling with the software or menus. Be practiced and professional with what you are showing. Stick to the topics. Some of the short presentations were good during this semester, but the better ones were the presentations with very little fumbling with the menus and software.
