About Your Final Seminar Presentations
ENGL5939 Spring 2003

Final Presentation (Multi-Media)


The Report Type:
Your multi-media presentation will be of no less than 10 and no more than 15 minutes. You must use the LCD overhead display, and you must have at least one handout. In this project you'll extend the information you gathered from this class, incorporating that data into Microsoft PowerPoint and presenting it to the class.
 

Using the Technology:
For this presentation you must use Microsoft PowerPoint (available on all the computers in the lab, and on most of the computers in labs across campus). You must use  graphics (at least four external – not "clip art" – graphics are required). We'll discuss a variety of other options that you may use (but you're not required to use them).


Your Professor's Packet:
When you make your final presentation, you will give your professor a file folder containing:
(1) the drafts and outlines of your emerging project,
(2) a bibliography of materials, both textual and graphic, you use in the presentation,
(3) a disk (or CD-R or CD-RW) containing your PowerPoint presentation and any graphics that accompany it.
