Each team member must participate equally in the presentation.

Each team is to give their presentation as a stand-alone presentation. Even if a previous team presented on a similar topic, your presentation must stand complete on its own.

Do not use the phrase “like they said” !!!!! It’s your presentation.

Due to the logout and login time on ITaP network computers, if you use PowerPoint, burn your presentation onto a CD or into a USB jump drive, so it can immediately be loaded onto the local machine – or be able to ftp/e-mail your file in.

Evaluation criteria for the presentations is shown on the reverse of this sheet.

This oral presentation will be worth 100 lecture points. Plan ahead and do well on it.

NOTE THAT quizzesfollowing the presentations will be based on questions from these presentations.

Before or immediately after your presentation, e-mail to your instructor:

  • your references
  • your questions.

Do not wear a hat during your presentation.
