Expectations
(Last updated on 9 March.)
The expectations for presenting teams (both “News” and “Lead”):
-
Before 5:00pm on the day before you are scheduled to lead (so Monday for Tuesday classes and Wednesday for Thursday classes), share your plans and draft slides with me. You should do this in an email with all of the team members who are contributing cc’d so I can reply-all to everyone. The “before 5pm” deadline assumes that if I am able to get you feedback before 8pm you will have time to make revisions before class. If not, you should get me the slides before noon.
-
Be creative! All presenting teams so far have followed fairly closely the same format. This isn’t a bad format, but it is definitely not the best for most topics. Teams are encouraged to incroporate more interesting activities and use the class time in more varied ways.
-
Better presentations. I will provide some more guidance on general ways to improve presentations in Tuesday’s class (and maybe more in later classes), and although you are not required to follow everything I say it is expected that you’ll design presentations in ways that are mindful of it.
