  PRESENTATION LOGISTICS

 
 

PLEASE BRING A CD or a flashdrive WITH A COPY OF YOUR PRESENTATION ON IT. THE MOVABLE STORAGE UNIT WILL HAVE YOUR PRESENTATION IN MS WORD, WORD PERFECT, OR POWER POINT.   PLEASE BRING ME FLASHDRIVE OR CD AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS ON THE DAY OF YOUR PRESENTATION. I will load your presentation file onto Blackboard immediately so I will be able to give your device back to you.THANK YOU.
 

You should:

prepare a two to three page synopsis handout for class distribution

the handout and the presentation should summarize the major points on the conceptual and empirical literature on your topic. The synopsis outlines your topic, discusses major concepts and findings, and highlights directions for future research.

You will do a brief presentation (15-20 minutes) and lead a brief discussion on the topic

You may use varied media in your presentation/discussion. Our class room has an overhead projector, computer for PowerPoint, a VCR/DVD and other audio-visual aids. Several groups have video'd part of their experiment for their presentation.
 
 

HINTS AND EXAMPLES

Make a copy of your handout for you, the entire class, and for me.

Try leaving 5 minutes for questions and discussion (I know, that's only 10-15 minutes for a presentation, but remember, people can scan the handout!)

Include examples in your presentation and handout. Concrete examples are a very helpful way to illustrate concepts.

Please include a brief bibliography at the end of your handout so interested persons can follow up on the topic.

Check out Power Point presentations from earlier classes on Blackboard.

You will need either Power Point or the Power Point viewer (available on virtually all university computers) to view these presentations.
