►►►Presentation
guidelines & timing
In addition to submitting
your written thesis/paper to the Professor, each individual will receive 7-10
minutes
to present his/her
findings to the class. a brief Q & A will follow.
{see below for directions for questioners} This is comparable to researchers’
presentations made at conferences to
fellow scholars. Presentation
content areas should include these 6 items listed below:
[use explicit
1- An explanation of where your current project falls within the larger
Body-of-
Knowledge
2-
The details and the rationale underlying your (i.e. the investigator's)
choices of
method, measurement, and how closely the actual investigation procedures
corresponded to the original design plan -including
the rationale for any changes made,
as
applicable.
3-
A specific, but succinct, summary of how the research was carried out.
[e.g. where,
with whom, how, instruments used, coding used, what aspects of what
underlying theories]
4-
A discussion of what (if any) special investigative "challenges" and/or
limitations
were encountered & whether or not they affected the study's outcomes.
5-
Your specific "Findings" = a summary of what your research revealed.
[e.g.
Was your
hypothesis
proved/disproved /or/
what is the evident answer to your research question. ]
6-
Your "Conclusions" = an analysis of the significance & or
implications of your
findings [e.g.
insights into communication and/or communication behaviors /or/
possible directions for future research in
Communication fields /or/
suggestions for changes in policies & procedures]
*All presentations should make use of effective Oral Presentation technique
[as you learned in
*Since this semester these presentations are in-person, it is possible to use a slide show or a PDF . You even can show a videoclip . Anticipate the extra few seconds it takes to go through the steps of A.V. set up. If the classroom is available, you may want to test out your equipment in advance
. Always have whatever you intend to share already pulled up on your computer prior to going up for your presentation. However, a simple, non-visually aided presentation is fine as well.
Sr.Sem-
For your turn as a questioner - this semester's procedure:
You are a DESIGNATED QUESTIONER for today’s presentation(s)
You will be assigned to be the otal DQ for at least one seminar-mate.
You should use FOCUSED
& CRITICAL/ANALYTICAL LISTENING in order to frame your question to the
presenter(s).
Definitions:
FOCUSED
Listening
= active listening behaviors with a particular goal in mind.
Your goal today is to listen in order to assess & evaluate
the quality of the presenter’s content.
CRITICAL Listening
= listening to the quality of the speaker’s reasons &
reasoning [e.g.
How
clear are the claims/positions?
How concrete are the supports for the positions?
How “logical” are the conclusions; are they grounded in the findings/results or
are they derived from the presenter’s
(unsupported
opinions ,
etc]
Procedure:
Throughout the presentation, listen to the quality of the speaker’s data /
reasoning-&-warranting / argumentation. Listen for use of effective
argumentation techniques (
e.g. clear ties to the supports
[“whereas”],
concrete source citations, clarifications of specialized concepts, etc.).
Also note any ineffective techniques
( e.g. generalizations, too many hypotheticals, unsupported assertions,
etc.)
After the specified presentation,
you will get to ask at least one question.
