Final Presentation

If you do not tell me by Wednesday, November 5 that you'll be doing a presentation, I will assume that you're writing a paper and not presenting.

Here are some guidelines for your presentation.

• Your presentation should be research-based. I.e, you should be presenting some new material, not just commenting on what we've all already read or talked about.
• Your presentation should be around fifteen minutes in length, with around five minutes for questions afterward.
• You will be evaluated based on both how well you understand your topic (you should strive for a balance of breadth and depth) and how well you present your material.
• Your topic should be synthetic. It should tie together or reflect upon some of the broad themes we've be discussing in this course. You should make reference to or clearly build upon some of our readings or discussion topics.
• At the end of the term you should hand in an annotated bibliography for your topic.
• I strongly recommend practicing your presentation, both with and without an audience.
