Tips From the TAS:

1. **** FOLLOW THE CRITIQUE SHEETS **** and practice in front of friends and get feedback, and have them time your presentation.
2. Bring your flash drive with at least 2 GB free!
   
3. Do not read from notes - just glance at your presentation outline
4. Do not hide behind or lean on desk, or cross legs.  Return to neutral position.
5. Hooks should be creative - asking for show of hands is getting old.
6. Pause for effect should be two full seconds - obvious!
7. Objective should be clear how the audience will be changed: "After my presentation you will ......." .  Saying "Today I'm going to talk about ...." is NOT and Objective!
8. Preview of your talk should be within the first minute - part of your introduction.
9. Your ending should be separate from the Restate Must Knows.
10. Restate must knows needs to be SPECIFIC, not categorical.
11. PowerPoint presentations - KEEP TEXT TO AN ABSOLUTE MINIMUM or NO Text.  Insert blank black slides where appropriate, cite source of all images under each image.
12. Have a "Plan B" if things go wrong with the technology.
13. Get into the lab a few days ahead and practice the technology.
14. End with "Thank You"

5. Outside Speech Critique assignment. Due in Lab Oct 17-21.  UVM lecture calendar site.
   
6. Class Attendance Policy from syllabus: "Unexcused absences from lecture or lab result in 1% reduction of your final course grade for each unexcused absence.  Attendance will be taken each lecture and lab.  If you are late, you will be marked absent.  This is not a class to cut and get notes from someone else. This is a class where you must come to lecture and lab a few minutes early every time and be ready to participate for the entire lecture or lab.  Athletes are excused only for Varsity Games (and work is expected to be made up within one week).  No students have earned an A in this course who have had more than two unexcused absences. If you can not make a class, you must notify your instructor before the class.  Notification after the class will result in a zero for that class and assignment.  If you miss a speaking assignment without notifying your instructor before the class or if you miss a speaking assignment because you were not prepared, you will earn a zero for that assignment. Only extreme legitimate prior-notification absences (death in the family, serious illness, or accident) will be made up.  For an excuse to be legitimate you must contact your college's Deans office (for CALS Deans Office Rose Laba, 656-0289, rlaba@uvm.edu) and they will notify Dr. Leonard.  This should be a very rare occurrence.  The TAs and Dr. Leonard need to hear from the Deans Office for an excuse to be legitimate."  
7. CALS 001 students, visit with your academic advisor and have them sign the Advisor Meeting Form.  Join a club or organization.
