Final Research Presentation Guidelines
- You must be on time for the presentation, i.e. at the
beginning
of the last day of regular class for the course, which is 6:30 p.m. on
May 7, 2008. Failure to be on time will result in an automatic
failure
on the presentation.
- You must speak for 10 minutes and be prepared for a few
questions;
Speaking less than the required time will result in a mandatory
reduction
of 20% from the presentation mark for each minute below the prescribed
10
minutes.
- You should speak without referring constantly to your
notes; I would not recommend a prepared speech, but rather some key
points
on a notecard or two.
- In your presentation you should simply present the
findings
of your Research project, including a description of the sources used
for the project, the project's context, the question(s) you
examined/tried to answer, and the findings/conclusions.
