CSE 1105 Group Presentation Ground Rules

Before the presentation

Plan the presentation thoroughly, including the timing (11 to 13 minutes)

Be sure there is a speaking role for each member of the group

(e.g., an interview, a survey, a way to involve the audience)

Organize your presentation by giving the background of the topic, pointing out controversies which surround it, and presenting pros and cons of the controversy.

Plan and carry out an activity associated with the topic

Prepare a set of slides for the team using Powerpoint

Know that each team member is being evaluated by every other team member

Presentations will be in room 315 NH. What’s there?

There is a PC running Powerpoint connected to a PC projector.

There’s an overhead projector.

There are white boards.

(If you let me know beforehand, we can have a VCR with TV set, zip drive, etc.)

There will be a video camera to allow taping the presentation.

(You can view your presentation later if you wish.)

Ground rules for the presentation

Start the presentation with an introduction of the group topic by the first presenter

Follow with an introduction of each member of the group by the first presenter –

clearly so that this could be understood on the tape.

As each group member starts his/her presentation, do another introduction.

Speak slowly and clearly.

Make it interesting (please!)

Remember you are teaching others in the class about your topic.

Make clear what the group’s activity was.

At the end, have one member of the group summarize the topic.

Class members viewing the presentation will be asked to evaluate the presentation on:

Interestingness

Clarity of presentation

… and other items which the class will decide

(You can review the comments on your group’s presentation later if you wish.)

Group Summary (to be turned in by the group by 4/3)

Title of presentation and short abstract

A short description of the activity (e.g., interview, survey) done by the group

For each person in the group, a one-page summary of their contribution:

- presenters should provide a one paragraph summary of their

material plus a bibliography of sources consulted

- others should provide a written description of the work they did

Ratings

Each group member will individually rate the effort and results of the work of

each of the other members of the group.
