Tips
from TAs:
- Practice ahead in the room you will give your presentation. Use http://resource25.uvm.edu .
- Be SPECIFIC about what the audience
should remember in the Restate Must Knows. Don't be CATEGORICAL.
Ex. "I talked to you today about How to bake an apple pie, what
ingredients to use, what temp to bake, and how to serve" is categorical
(BAD). "Today you learned to use fresh Granny Smith Apples and
Brown Sugar in your pie, to bake in a pre-heated 375F degree oven, and
to serve with a slice of sharp cedar cheese" is specific (GOOD).
- Your Preview should be slow and clear:
2-4 main points you will be going over. During your presentation
the transitions between these points should also be clear (for example
"Now you know about what ingredients to use for the pie, let's go on to
baking and oven temperature..")
- Source all facts not common knowledge. Source all images on (or just under) the image.
- Be clear about why you chose your topic. "The reason I chose this topic is....."
- Pauses need to be OBVIOUS (2 seconds or more) for effect.
- It is perfectly fine not to use the computer or presentation software.
- Have a plan B if something goes wrong with the technology (images printed to pass around, or show on DocCamera).
- If using presentation software: Go to lab early and pre-load your presentation.
- Make sure
you have enough room on your flash drive (need at least 500MB free. Recommended: 2 Gigs free).
- For
the Conclusion, give a clear restate-must-knows, then show/do something
memorable (for a powerful ending) and end with "Thank You".
The
worst way to end is to say "That's about it..."
- Repeat any
questions asked of you at the end of your presentation.
- Use the Grading Rubric checklist as you are constructing your reflection folder.
