Final Presentations

You will give a presentation on your topic to the class.  This will be your final exam, worth 10 points of your final grade. 

Since it will only be 4-6 minutes long, (no one will have more than 6 minutes) you will need to prepare a shorter and more concise version of your research.  Some of your ideas will not fit ideally into this time frame - its ok to cut a lot.

I will look for a custom-prepared presentation: DO NOT SIMPLY READ FROM YOUR PAPER and be sure your presentation is the right size/length.

Students must use handouts (1 page, prepare 20 cc) AND on-screen slides to help classmates follow their points.

Students must speak slowly, clearly and loudly.

All class members must be present with their handouts ALREADY printed and all graphic documents loaded onto thumb drives BEFORE CLASS.  There is no "extra time" for lateness, printing things out and no room for error.  There will be no "do overs".  Lateness will significantly hurt your grade as it is disrespectful to your peers.

Be forewarned: the class may run until 1245 this day.
