Fall 2002 UNIV 1301
Your Grade I
• Your presentation will be graded based on its content, the quality of the groups’ oral presentation and the presentation’s design.
• Each group member must participate equally in the preparation of the project (the “research”), the creation of the presentation (the “computer skill”) and its oral presentation in class.

Fall 2002 UNIV 1301
You can borrow laptops with Internet access from ACES to use within the facility.
The PowerPoint presentation should be stored on a floppy disk (make and bring a backup floppy also).
If the content of your presentation exceeds the storage capacity of a floppy disk, you can email the final .ppt file to me at [email protected] at least two days before the presentation, and I will put the file on a CD.
Your .ppt file has to be turned in immediately after your presentation. I will “publish” your file on our class webpage.
Computer Access, Storage, Publication etc.

Fall 2002 UNIV 1301
Time Management
1. Gather material (research, pictures, etc.)2. “Digest” the material (read, understand, sort out)3. Plan the content of the presentation
• On average each slide takes about 2 minutes, so your presentation should have about 10-12 slides.
4. Produce the PowerPoint presentation• Use a “slide master” or “theme” to achieve a coherent design
5. Plan and prepare the oral presentation6. Check and double-check….

Fall 2002 UNIV 1301
Working in Groups I
• This assignment differs from other assignments this semester in two important ways:– You will prepare outside of class
• Time management becomes harder.
• Scheduling problems must be addressed and solved by the group!
– You will work in a large group• Larger groups are better for creative projects since they
provide more varied input than a small group
• Group coherency can become a problem!
![Page 10: Fall 2002UNIV 1301 Power Point Presentations Contents –Topics and Presentation Dates –Your Grade –Technical Matters –Time Management –Working in Groups](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082821/5697c0101a28abf838ccae90/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Fall 2002 UNIV 1301
Working in Groups II
• It is beneficial to appoint specific group members to specific tasks within the group, e.g.
• Time Manager– Is the group on schedule?
• Scheduler– Has telephone numbers/email addresses of all group members
– Arranges meetings; makes sure every group member knows when/where to meet
• Group Observer– How well is the group working as a group?
– Does everyone in the group participate equally?

Fall 2002 UNIV 1301
Working in Groups III
• More Tasks….• Encourager of Participation
– Is everyone in the group having the opportunity to voice his/her opinions?
• Checker of Understanding– Does every group member understand the material discussed?
– Does everyone know what’s going on?
• Manager of Materials– Responsible for safe keeping of the material used
– Responsible for bringing PowerPoint presentation (ppt file) to class; makes backups for emergencies

Fall 2002 UNIV 1301
Design Considerations I
• A good PowerPoint presentation– Contains a table of contents
– Contains references at the end of the presentation
– Uses a coherent design, but varies the layout of the pages
– Balances textual and graphical elements
– Avoids audio and other overly distracting elements unless necessitated by the topic
![Page 13: Fall 2002UNIV 1301 Power Point Presentations Contents –Topics and Presentation Dates –Your Grade –Technical Matters –Time Management –Working in Groups](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082821/5697c0101a28abf838ccae90/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Fall 2002 UNIV 1301
Design Considerations II
• An oral PowerPoint presentation does not use the automatic timing feature – this feature is intended for automatic slide shows (no presenters) only.
![Page 14: Fall 2002UNIV 1301 Power Point Presentations Contents –Topics and Presentation Dates –Your Grade –Technical Matters –Time Management –Working in Groups](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082821/5697c0101a28abf838ccae90/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Fall 2002 UNIV 1301
Oral Presentation
• A good oral presentation features– Speakers who are well prepared and competent
– Speakers who do not use notes• The PowerPoint presentation itself serves as a mnemonic aid for the
presenter
• The presenters may use a printed version of the presentation slides
– Speakers who encourage audience participation• This might conflict with time limitations of the presentation
– Speakers who also interact non-verbally with the audience • Eye contact, body language…
