Send me your group's presentation BEFORE class tomorrow

Hi all,

A final reminder that our class meets tomorrow from 11am-1:30pm. If I do not have your presentation before class tomorrow, I will take points off.

Also remember that you will need to print out your research project outline and bring it to class tomorrow.

Best,
Jessisca

Directions for Final Panel Presentation

Hi all,

Here is a link to the directions for your final presentation. To do well on this assignment, you will need to review these directions very closely. You will give these presentations on Wednesday, Dec. 5, 11:00-1:30 pm .Here is a list of what you will need to turn in to me for the final presentation:

1. One member of your group will need to email a link to your revised slideshare powerpoint presentation BEFORE class on Dec 5th. Every group needed to revise things on their powerpoints--you will get points off if you just send me the same powerpoint you did before.

2. Each member of your group will do a peer review for the same group you reviewed previously. I will give you a similar sheet to fill out. Give this to me at the end of class on Dec 5th

3. In addition to the presentation, each member of your group will individually have to turn in an outline that will be the final product of your actual research; that is, it will demonstrate your findings, as opposed to your specific research methods.We will work on this in class on November 26th (look in the directions for the final presentation to get information on how to format this.) It will be due at the end of class on Dec 5th.

Review the directions for the assignment before you ask me questions, chances are the directions will answer your question.

Best,
Jessica

Final Blog Post due this week (Prompt is up!)

Hi all,

This blog post is due before 11:59 on Saturday. You do not need to worry about word counts, and you do not have to respond to a classmate this week. This is your last blog post, and many of you need these points so I encourage you to be thoughtful with this assignment:

Week 15:

Blog Post:  http://www.garrreynolds.com/Presentation/prep.html

After reviewing the website above and taking into account the feedback you've given and received, create a detailed grading rubric for your panel presentations. A grading rubric is a description of what is being graded and how many points each aspect of the assignment is worth. Review the assignment directions as you put your rubric together: Link to Final Presentation Directions

In your revised grading rubric, think about what makes a good presentation--what kind of presentations do you enjoy watching, and why?

Here is an example of a grading rubric--it is what I’m using to grade your annotated bibliographies:

Grading Rubric:

Overall document format (margins, spacing, heading, sources are alphabetized)5 points
-formatted correctly in MLA or APA format
-all required resources are present
10 points
-Chosen source is credible
-Source is appropriate for the topic
15 points
-Annotations are at least four sentences:
at least two sentences to summarize, with the summary being an accurate reflection of the source, and in the student’s own words
at least two sentences to discuss how resources will be used, a thoughtful discussion of how the resource either confirms or challenges the student’s position. This discussion will not receive points if the student answers too simply, (something to the effect of, “This is a useful source because it will help me make my argument”--HOW specifically will it help you make your argument?)
20 points

More info on your upcoming presentations

Hi all,

In class today we discussed your upcoming presentation (which is a draft of what will become your final presentation.) These presentations will be held on November 7 and November 12.

You will have Monday, November 5 to work on these presentations in class. There is, however, a good chance that I will not be there that day so make sure to ask any questions you have sooner rather than later. This will not be an optional day--you'll have an in-class assignment that you have to complete.

Here are the directions for this assignment: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17dbC3f35wKSIfS-udkDh5bMESdH4N3sXrvBw68KyV_E/edit

Read them, and then read them again, and then ask questions.

Best,
Jessica
