FYS Time Sign Up

Graded Presentation on November 19

  • You must have your trifold, presentation slides, and oral presentation ready to go! 

  • Presenters, please arrive early and prepared. Audience members, please arrive early. Do not walk into class late while another group is presenting or leave class while a presentation is in progress. If you are late, please wait until the group has finished presenting. Also, ALL PHONES NEED TO BE PUT AWAY. GIVE EACH GROUP YOUR UNDIVIDED ATTENTION. Failure to do so is considered discourteous in academic settings.

​

FYS Presentation Day November 21

  • Be sure to arrive early and be prepared! Find me and I will help you set up. 

  • Be sure someone has a laptop that is charged! You will need it for the presentation slides. If there is a problem with who will have a laptop available, speak to me asap!

  • Be sure to take a look at the tips for presenting that are on the class plans every day this week!

FYS Tips

Tips: 

  • Take deep breaths!

  • Write a script for your presentation. Beginning to end for your parts. This definitely does help with understanding how much time you will take to say your part but also that you are addressing what you need to.

  • You are having a conversation with your audience! Do just that...have a conversation. 

  • Be sure to have "sexy" titles on your presentation! 

  • Practice! Practice! Practice!

  • Write our your notes on notecards?

    • Type up your part on a Word document and print out. Cut the section and paste to a notecard. 

  • Smile!

  • Nothing should be handwritten on the board...

  • Be sure that fonts, pictures, graphs, tables, etc. are at a reasonable size...

  • ​If you are struggling with something, please tell me!!!​

  • Be sure to have at least 3 credible sources for the presentation!

Final Portfolio Discussion

For about 15 minutes, read the feedback on the rubric I hand back to you. Hold all the questions until you read it through. You can write down questions if you'd like. You could also look through the class web page to clarify any confusion...

​

Why wait 15 minutes? Uhh....

‘I Want My Professors to Stop Reading PowerPoint Slides,’ and Other Student Complaints

​

What questions/concerns do we have about the final portfolio? 

  • meta-cognitive reflecting?

FYS Slides--Peer Review (Talk Through)

Submit your team's presentation slides to the Blackboard Discussion forum: FYS Slides Peer Review.

​

We are going to be doing peer review a little different this time...

  • With your groups, get into a circle with another group:

  • Talk through your group's presentation slides with the other group

    • One person should not be speaking for everyone!​

  • You do not have to give the entire presentation.

    • Perhaps discuss the reasoning of certain decisions your own group made and why you all felt those were appropriate.

    • Or even discuss things your group still needs to work on.

    • Ask for feedback or ideas from the other group.

      • What could be improved?

      • What could be changed? Added?

      • SPEAK to each other and have a conversation. This is considered practice...
