Presentation 10 marks

There are two objectives for the presentation:

-To demonstrate your ability to present well (i.e. presentation skills)
Presentation skills include:

  • use of voice (good volume, clear, well paced, expression etc)
  • appropriate gestures
  • eye contact is maintained with audience
  • design/appropriateness of supporting media such as powerpoint slides
  • content is well sequenced with a clear introduction, logical development of ideas and clear conclusion or summary

-To justify your proposed approach to your portfolio.
produce PowerPoint slides to help communicate this.
This will determine the content of your presentation.

  • You need to justify your approach to your portfolio.
  • To do this you need to clearly articulate the skills you wish to demonstrate, the type of work you are applying for and how these factors impacted on your design decisions.
  • Put simply, answer these questions:
    Why did you structure your portfolio as you did?
    Why did you choose the look and feel you did?

Peer review 10 marks

Each student is required to conduct a peer review of the portfolio and presentation of three of their classmates – a template for the peer review is provided( a copy is at the end of this document). The reviews will be done during presentations but students will have one week to tidy them up. Peer reviews will make no impact on the mark allocated by your lecturer to the person being reviewed. The objective of doing the peer review is not only to provide constructive feedback, but to demonstrate your ability to critically review a work.

How to submit: Please submit in hard copy either on the day of the presentations or in class the following week.
