Presentation Skills, contributed by Hans-Peter Bischof, Rochester Institute of Technology
From CISEREUPI
- Idea: Prepare the students for being able to give excellent presentations.
- Objective: Teaching the skill set required to be able to give good presentations.
- What works well: First, it is explained to the students what makes a good presentation. From there on, the students give a presentation every week. Each presentation will be short, and will be constructively critiqued on by the students (peer pressure) and the faculty.
- What doesn’t work so well: Giving only one or two presentations over the period of 10 weeks. The presentation skills will not improve, if the feedback is too harsh or not constructive.
- Assessment data: A rubric of what makes a good presentation is explained and distributed to the students. This rubrics is used by all participants, students and faculty, to evaluate every presentation. This evaluation is collocated and shared with the presenter. See here for an example rubric: Media:feedback_form.pdf
