Post October holidays rundown

Hi all,

Below is a rundown of how I intend to manage the classes after the October break. On Monday (8th)you will each get feedback on the work you did for me on the 'digital books' assessment, and you'll get the opportunity to make any changes as necessary and complete any questions outstanding. You will still have the two hours on Tuesday (9th) as well, so we have plenty of time. So, post October holidays info then:

22/10 - Alma, our Head Librarian will deliver a session on research methodology.

23/10 - what factors contribute to effective and ineffective oral presentation delivery? An overview of PowerPoint use and the unassessed presentation brief will be given out.

29/10 - 'Selling yourself' analysis where we will evaluate presentation / communication skills using a recording from a TV show. The context is for candidates who wish to enter the world of advertising. Plenty of opportunities to critique the candidates!

30/10 and 5/11 - preparation for unassessed presentation on 'celebrity', using laptops / PCs.

6 and 12/11 - delivery of unassessed talks. I will give you a self-assessment form to fill in for your own keeping and I will provide supportive feedback, as will you and your peers afterwards.

13/11 - reflection on talks and I will take you through the next assessment brief - how to do the 'how to do' talk and devising a presentation plan.

19, 20 and 26/11 - work on assessed presentations

27/11, 3/12 and 4/12 - delivery of assessed presentations - class split into small groups as agreed in classtime.

Beyond that I haven't thought, so I will bid you a good day and wish you a lovely weekend!

Mark
