Tips From TAs:

  1. Follow the Critique Sheets!
  2. Objectives must say how the audience will be changed: "I'm going to talk to you about rock climbing" is NOT an objective.  "After my presentation you will know the basics of rock climbing" is an objective.
  3. Restate must knows must be SPECIFIC.
  4. Have a STRONG ENDING separate from the restate must knows.
  5. PAUSE FOR EFFECT!
  6. DRESS - conservative & more formal than usual.
  7. It is YOUR responsibility to set up the technology - not the TAs.  Set up BEFORE lab starts.
  8. Lab Roles
