Week 8 - Presenting to Peers 101


 
Almost Done!  The End is NEAR!   :-)


I have completed the draft and sent it in!  Roland has evaluated it and sent it back.  His remarks are helpful for the most part but some of them are questions that I'm not sure he’s asking me to think about or suggesting I address in the paper.  I agree with the majority of them and am going to incorporate them into my paper.  I just wish there was more TIME!  Also, I have to present this thing next week.  I will probably take a day off work again “sick” so I can mash out a script.  Tutorial this week was all about the presentations. 

They will be strict about the 10-minutes and they strongly encourage us to have a script and PRACTICE it to make sure we are within the time limit.  I am happy to write a script – writing is something I'm good at.  Just look at this blog!  It’s like 2200 words of just my thoughts and ideas.  I think I can succinctly deliver the key points of my research in 10 minutes. 

The PPT for the presentation is almost done, too.  I have made up 8 really good slides.  Roland said to have only three and make them graphical, but I feel like I need a couple more.  My experience has been that the same slide on the screen for 2 or 3 minutes causes the viewer to lose interest and since we are peer marking I don’t want to do that!  It should be fun, though, since a bunch of newer AEDT students may attend.  Looking forward to it!
