Tuesday, May 5th, from 3-5pm, Room TBA
During the final exam time, you will each give a 3-4 minute presentation on your research paper. Briefly summarize for your classmates the following:
· What was your topic?
· What argument did you make?
· What were your reasons/evidence for your argument?
· Anything else you want to comment on:
· What did your articles say?
· Were you surprised by anything you learned?
· If you could do part of the research and writing process differently, what would you have changed?
You must stay within the required timeframe (3-4 minutes – and I will be timing you), so be sure to practice a few times before class with a timer. You may use ONE PAGE of notes, but I would encourage you to write these in bullet points or outline form, since I do expect you to look up and make eye contact with your classmates. Again, practice, so that you know ahead of time what you want to say.
Grading Criteria:
· Falls within required timeframe: 15pts
· Delivery (posture, volume, eye contact): 30pts
· Answers all relevant questions: 45pts
· Participation and attentive listening: 10pts
Total: 100pts
