Presentation Making Paradigms

1. Be prepared - DO NOT read note cards (although you may hold them if necessary)- this requires practicing your own part, and requires practicing as a team. This practice includes where you will stand and how you will move around.
   Practice is the best way to deal with being nervous.
2. Time yourself and your team (have a time keeper) - You should not go over 30 minutes - professional presentations should never be long, and should only be under by a few minutes.
3. Everyone participates.
4. Face your audience - don't read from the Power Point or your notes.
5. Have more than one visual.
6. Engage your audience (people never want to sit and just listen).
7. Introduce your team in the beginning.
8. Practice the segue between speakers.
9. Close at the end. Make a concluding statement, not simply, "Okay, that's it."
10. Allow for Q & A.
11. Grading criteria are included in our course online Syllabus, Assessment.
12. My grading focuses on creativity, understanding of course content, and critical thinking.
