FYS Sign Up and Tips

  • 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.​

  • 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! 

    • Be sure that you are focusing on historical context...

    • The way you are connecting to your group members is through the theme. 

    • 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...
