Please review these guidelines and bring any questions you have to my attention! Remember that these slides will illustrate the short presentation each student gives on the final day of class (Nov. 28).
Due: Monday 11/26, by 5pm
What: a digital file (Powerpoint, Keynote, OpenOffice, or PDF format) that contains 1 slide
This slide should have 1 image (representative of your field guide subject) and no more than 3 bullet points (representing key aspects of your research). You will have approx 3-4 minutes (final math on this is pending…) to present during our symposium on Nov. 28, so the slide should act as a visual prompt for your field guide rather than as a full summary. I will group presentations into smaller sessions, with brief question/discussion periods in between those sessions. The metaphor we’ve used to describe this symposium in the recent past is “speed dating” (though I’ve only actually had this phenomenon described to me in a second-hand manner…). The point is, you’ll each have only a few minutes to articulate both the topic and a point or two about your field guide!
Don’t worry, it’s fun….
