1. Contact your group members for the Group Critical Analysis presentation and Practice

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
9. Everyone is expected to arrive early and stay the whole time - go to the bathroom before lab.
10. Source any facts that are not common knowledge.
11. Repeat questions asked at the end of your presentation.

The single most important thing to do in preparing to speak: Practice in front of others and get feedback!
