Suggestions from grading presentations and reflection papers:

1. Make sure your OBJECTIVES (how your audience will be changed) is clear in your presentations.
2. Make sure you have a PREVIEW so the audience has a mental road-map of where you will be going with your presentation.
3. Explain where you got your information.  To say "I got this from a website" is not enough.  Which Website?  Is it a primary source?  How credible is the source?
