re: "visual" aid equipment---
     >>  Whenever possible, presenters planning to use the computer projector (slide shows, video, etc) will all present adjacent to each other. Specifications for early email submission of any Slide Shows to the Professor are recomended & will be emailed to the class.

    >> Most of the laptops currently issued by the University require a "dongle" adapter in order to connect to the projector's VGA cable in Fahy 58A ( which does not have wireless capabilities). MAC computers also require an adapter. Contact TLTC/Media Services to sign one out for the day. (Mike R. also might be able to help you. Your professor MIGHT have access to an adapter you can use, but ultimately it is the student's responsibility) 

    >>  If your presentation requires audio, please realize you will also need to hook up to the classroom speakers. You should test out your technology in advance.

   >> If you need other types of Audio-Visual aids other than a cassette player or a VCR/TV/DVD (e.g. if you need an overhead projector, an opaque projector, or similar materials) you will need to ask your professor to reserve those through the Media Center (X9554) at least 48 hours prior to your presentation day.

   >> You are encouraged to be creatively effective in your use of presentation aids. Review the suggestions & guidelines in chapter 15(15& 14e) 13(13e) 14 ( 12e) (e.g. passing materials around your audience is NOT a recommended technique) .

   >>  Powerpoint  software  is already loaded onto your Laptops & the instructions/tutorial "wizards"  are  easy to follow on your own. Prezi is downloadable. And, remember to KEEP IT SIMPLE. 

    >> SPECIAL FOR THIS SEMESTER: If you are using a slide show ( Powerpoint., Prezi, etc) , you should email it to your Professor as soon as possible but no later than 12:15pm on your day of presentation. This way, your visuals can be run via the Professor's computer [this will eliminate some of the problems that occur from connecting & disconnecting the cables & adapters although there's still no guarantee that we won't encounter challenges]. 

         >  The Professor's laptop will be placed on the student desk in the front of the room-- closest to the control box area & the assigned "Tech Assistant" will be available to run your slide show using the "page up/down" keys. If you prefer, you can run the slide show yourself. Even if you are using your own laptop (now or in the future) avoid putting it atop the lectern, I often see speakers doing this but that action creates an additional barrier between you and your listeners.

ADDITIONAL REMINDERS:

AND---

>> everyone is expected to be present & prepared for all designated "jobs"

>> Be sure your presentation (including your "presentation aids") falls within the assigned time limits.  Any Set-Up should take NO LONGER THAN 30 seconds!

 
>> As always, the revised, hard copy of your extemporaneous speech outline is due BEFORE you deliver your presentation. Be sure to use correct, standard outline format (see template  below).  Also double check the example outlines in your text. [Don't rely on your word processor to put numbers & letters & indentations in the right place.]

  >> If you use any information sources in addition to your own personal experience, you must include them in a bibliography--on your submitted outline, not your slide show.

                        ***REMINDER:  Internet source citations must list the [1] URL, [2] the Title of the particular Webpage you used,  [3] the Date that you accessed the page & [4] (If available) the last date that the page itself was updated. It would also be wise to refer to the guidelines in the Department of Communication's Policy on Academic Honesty
 

>> No hats, of course

 
>>  CURRENTLY = Self Critique= "NOW OR LATER"  (i..e. Your Choice:  COMPLETE FOR EITHER THIS OR FOR NEXT PRESENTATION (VideoSelfCritique)

> -NOTE: A written Self Critique (i.e. an expanded personal post mortem) in which you analyze the aural AND organizational  aspects of your presentation is due to be submitted -- via e-mail --  no later than one week after  your presentation. This follow-up self-critique is a required assignment.   A page with the specifications for critique is linked  above & as well as via  the shortcut on my main web page -- as well as via your course calendar. Note the details about the critique's contents, format, &  submission details.

>> your  FINAL, revised outline ( which is due for submission before you give your presentation) should look something like this:

Here's a sample layout:
