PRESENTATION SCHEDULES

pages to be finalized approximately  2-3 days prior to presentations. Scroll down for details.

The following policy also will be reiterated in class:

> The "Presentation Schedule" Procedure:  to be used for "live" realtime major presentations

>>> Assigned dates for the MAJOR presentations are specified in advance via the online posting of a Presentation Schedule. 

>>>> This schedule will list the assigned dates for speakers, evaluators, and recorder operators/technical assistants.  It will be "published" at least one day before the presentations begin ( usually a little earlier) & linked to your online course calendar as well as via a shortcut on the Professor's main web page. Whenever possible, a copy also will be posted on the Professor's office door.

>>>>>> Consequently, students always are expected to be prepared to speak on their assigned date -- NO EXCEPTIONS. --If you miss your scheduled presentation date ( whether line or video upload, a make up opportunity CANNOT be guaranteed! (Here's the policy: if you miss your specified major presentation date, it defaults to a DURING-FINALS-WEEK / BRING-YOUR-OWN-AUDIENCE/ APPOINTMENT-ONLY  procedure. HOWEVER, only a small number of slots will be available at that time.) To reiterate, the opportunity to make up such missed presentations is not guaranteed and even this make up option may be withdrawn without notice. 

{Speech-Of-Self Presentation, Special Occasion talk, The One-Two Impromptu, Elevator Speech-version 1} These are brief speeches where everyone will speak on the same day.

Speech of Self-Presentation: It is likely that you've  already had  the experience of being asked to do a speech in which you introduce yourself to a class or a new group. This time you are being asked to take a slightly more strategic approach-- based on research into the connections between Self Concept and Self Disclosure and how these choices affect the way we move through the world.

In the designated class session, each person will deliver a two(2) minute, prepared,  speech  strategizing at least four(4) aspects of yourself & your background that you SELECT to share with your peers in this class. In other words,  rather than giving the typical, all inclusive list of miscellaneous details, you are exercising a type of (self) "branding." 

added 1/30/21: No Submissions necessary. Be sure to practice for an EXTEMPORANEOUS delivery (via notes / not reading word-for-word) , with frequent eye contact.

 

 

Special Occasion talk:  click link  for additional details These  brief talks will serve  multiple purposes for us this semester:  as a warm-up, as a " pretest" revealing your current proficiency in giving presentations, and as an mini-team icebreaker. Each person will perform at least one of the following roles: Speech writer, speech deliverer, speech critiquer, activity synthesizer.

No Submissions necessary although, of course, each triad will need to create its own written notes.

 

Elevator Speech: This type of talk is well known and each person will deliver a one -two(1-2) minute, semi-prepared/semi impromptu,  proposal speech   ( a.k.a. personal pitch). There are many, many how-to  &  alternative-to guides available online. Additional details will be discussed in class.  An extra credit version is also possible;look at:  "Elevator Speech 2"

Elevator Speech format

 

 The One-Two Impromptu:  click link  for SAMPLE impromptu activity  This type of talk is well known & you can look up the definition in your textbook. Each person will deliver a one-two(1-2) minute speech on a random topic relevant to this class (not necessarily the ones listed on the sample page) . No advance preparation or submissions; you'll be expected to think on your feet. If possible, each speaker will receive a brief oral critique by his/her peers & (if time) will be able to give the speech again.

LOOKING FOR  SUPPORTING MATERIALS  (Tips from your Textbook authors)

These are the "building blocks" you use to compose your Speech Contents:  Introduction / Body / Conclusion. And to clarify, WIKIPEDIA is NOT a research source, nor are its listings necessary credible. However, sometimes researchers use  an entry's list-of-references to find possble items for further investigation.

Here are several items your textbook authors cite as tools for finding research that might be useful to you. THis is NOT an exhaustive list--- just a few things to get you started. ( aligned with Chapter 9 / 6/7 ed)

Subscription databases
E-journals

CONDUCT SMART SEARCHES
Create effective keywords and subject headings . Keywords are words and phrases that discuss the main concepts of topics
•Use more rather than fewer words
•Use quotation marks
•Use Boolean operators
•Use nesting
•Use truncations
•Consult the search tips section
•Identify the correct subject headings:  a term that describes and groups related materials in a catalog
•Use advanced search including
•Keywords
•Language
•Country
•File format
•Domain
•Date
•Be a critical consumer of information
mediately,  All possible slots for end-of-semester speech make ups are committed & no additional people can be accommodated. Usually, in a given semester,  only a few people find themselves in the situation of needing to make up a presentation.  However, due to an unusual pattern this semester, you are alerted there will be no make ups for any missed presentations. Even with appropriate documentation, make up opportunities are not guaranteed; instead adjustments will be made to the grade distribution. )
