FAQ - assessed presentation

Hello everybody,


Here are some FAQs that I often receive regarding oral presentations. I hope they help! If you have any questions in addition to these, please e mail me.


The presentations are all coming along nicely and I am looking forward to learning lots of new things!


Q. Do I have to print off slides?


A. Yes, this would be very helpful. What could go wrong? The data projector and / or PC might not be working on the day (very unlikely) but you should always consider a back-up strategy. Slides and handouts are always helpful for the audience.


Q. What is the running order on the day?


A. I will leave that up to you, I don't want to interfere too much with the presentation process.


Q. How many questions will I get and from whom?


A. Everybody will get at least two questions based on what they have talked about in their presentation. The questions can be from Mark and / or the students in the respective assessments. Students are likely to ask different questions to the assessor in this instance as they are subject specialists.


Q. Do I need to dress formally?


A. No, but don't wear flip flops, caps, sunglasses etc!


Q. Will we get feedback after?


A. Yes, of course, as always! You will reflect on YOUR performance, you will reflect on ONE of your peers and I will feedback giving the result, which hopefully will be a pass. The feedback will happen after everybody has delivered their talk.
