Thurs., Feb. 20
The instructor returned student outlines and we chose presentation dates.
Students were in their groups and the instructor worked with each group on what the students might choose for the two graphics that are required for the presentation. She also advised on the outlines.
The students requested that we use class time to work on the group presentations, so that is what we will be doing for the next two classes prior to the presentation dates.
The dates are on a table at the Links Section at right.
To Do for Next Class
Read all parts of the chapter on technical presentations that were not previously assigned.
Continue to work on outlines and the graphics for your speeches.
Tues., Feb. 18
The instructor handed out instructions for how to print out screens from a Powerpoint. The recommended method is to use the Word program to assist because it gives more control over formatting.
She passed out index cards for students to tape their screen on. Then students had a chance to review their screen. The objective was to be able to deliver their material without looking at the screen and to maintain eye contact with the audience.
We will finish the exercise on Thursday.
We will also deal with the outlines on Thursday.
Sebastian is checking out Google's presentation program for how to do this.
