Presentation Instructions & Grading Rubric (100 points each) Rev. 3-1-16
Instructions
Step 1) Read your articles/texts. Take it seriously (i.e. take notes, talk about it, etc.).
Step 2) Identify the 5 most interesting/important things/points/topics and discuss why/how you think they are important.
Step 3) Consider the following scenario: You will present at a workshop called “Before You Go: Key Strategies for Gaining a Professional Edge.” Your audience for the presentation is a group of University seniors who are getting ready to graduate and need to know/appreciate the material in your reading(s). Audience members are there voluntarily, and you must speak to their concerns and use examples/illustrations that will be effective for them. The audience has already done the reading.
Step 4) Review Guide to Presentations, 4e and other resources on how to create effective presentations and the Grading Rubric to determine how you are evaluated.
Step 5) Create an engaging and informative presentation providing action-oriented recommendations based on your assigned reading. Your job is not to regurgitate the reading. Rather your job is to pick what you think are the 5 most interesting/useful topics in the reading and share with others how to apply what you’ve learned in an interesting, fun, and useful way. Your focus is on application of the concepts rather than theory and concepts. It’s important to establish a theme for your presentation that you could impact your PowerPoint, dress code, handouts, introduction, and activities.
