PRESENTATIONS

10/02: Topic for your presentation to be turned in to instructor.  5 points

                This should be a general statement describing what you want to do for your presentation about.  Assumedly, the topic may shift or evolve as you do research and prepare.  Please inform the instructor when these changes occur.  You are to research a disease – with your topic you should list some possible causes and some symptoms

10/09: Ten verifiable resources for your presentation to be turned in to instructor.  5 points

                This should be submitted electronically (email), especially if there are websites.

10/24: Rough draft to be turned into the instructor.  10 points. No more than 12-point font.  Please see criteria

11/7: Final to be turned into the instructor.  30 points. No more than 12-point font.  Please see criteria

11/25: Presentations.  20 points                              Please see criteria                                   

Things to keep in mind as you prepare: 

When you use information from a resource you must credit the resource – footnote or literature cite.

Your audience will be your classmates – material should be delivered to this level.

Be selective in the information you use – confine your topic to something that you can discuss in a paper. 

Be sure not to leave out relevant and important details.

                Ask your classmates and instructor for guidance during the preparation process – more eyes/input often improves the presentation.

You will need to be present to assess the presentations.  A loss of 10 points will be assessed to your presentation grade for failure to appear for the oral presentations.
