Midterm report presentations

Here's the sign-up sheet. We're scheduled to begin presentations on Feb. 13. 

Indicate your date/topic preference(s) in the comments' space below. First come, first served. Select a topic related to something in the day's assigned reading, and not already selected by a classmate. If it is similarly related to a classmate's topic, please co-ordinate with them to make sure you don't duplicate one another's content.

Your presentation should be at least ten minutes, plus discussion. Give us a discussion question or two, and lead the discussion. We'll schedule one or two presentations per class.

You can record your presentation in the library's MakerSpace if you wish, and show us the recording... but you will still need to be present to answer questions and lead discussion on your assigned presentation day. 

It's also an option to incorporate a podcast into your presentation, if you can find a creative way to do it. And you can use the MakerSpace practice booth to prepare, as well. Also: consider making an appointment with the Writing Center for help in smoothing your presentation.

"Rubric"--give us ten good minutes of relevant talk about your subject, beginning from the premise that your audience knows only what we've been assigned to read about it in our required texts. Do a bit of additional research to tell us something we wouldn't have read there. If you do that, and get us talking, you'll get all 25 available points.

This should be a fun assignment. Learning in general should be fun. If it's not, you're doing it wrong.
