Looking for ideas? Try YouTube or TikTok to get an idea of what VIDEO content could look like.

You will also be graded on every aspect of your performance.

There is an Oral Presentation rubric for the categories in which you will be graded.

 

  • Presentation topics should be emailed to your instructor by September 15th, 2023
  • Group presentations - October 17th, 2023 through October 26th, 2023. 
  • The group presentation and research paper will be submitted at the same time on the same date.
  • The group submits a 5-10 page typed summary or research paper of the presentation highlights.
    • This is not  an outline or a bullet-point list. Use complete sentences and paragraphs. Submitting an OUTLINE will reduce the overall presentation grade by at least TWO letter grades.
    • Include significant dates, names of individuals/groups (if applicable), names of organizations (if applicable), events, court cases (if applicable), all other important and pertinent information relating to the presentation.

All sources must be cited using both footnotes and a bibliography using the Turabian Notes-Bibliography format.

 

The group presentation examination will be given on October 31st, 2023
