outline for the Oral Presentation. Five

Overall
Information
The presentation will be twenty minutes in length although the evaluators
will be allowed to ask questions at the end of the presentation.
Under no circumstance will a video or slide presentation be allowed as a
substitute for an Oral Presentation, although either may be used as a supplement
not more than five (5) minutes in length. Upon
completion of the Oral Presentation, students are required to complete any
remaining hours of the project.
The substance of the Oral Presentation is an analysis of the Senior
Project. Choose the parts of your
Senior Project that were most beneficial to you or had the greatest impact upon
you and express these feelings to the Evaluation Committee.
Areas to be addressed in the presentation are covered in the outline for
the Oral Presentation. Using the
outline for the Oral Presentation and studying the rubric used by the Evaluation
Committee will prepare you for your presentation.
It is of paramount importance to use the outline in preparation for the
presentation since the evaluation rubric is based on information gathered from
the outline. You are strongly
encouraged to rehearse your presentation before its scheduled date and to review
the Oral Presentation rubric.
You
may be nervous about giving a speech but that is to be expected.
As a young adult entering the working world, you will be faced with many
similar situations and the Evaluation Committee views the Oral Presentation as a
learning environment for those future situations. You
may use note cards for your presentation, but you cannot read your presentation.
The outline will prepare you for a successful Oral Presentation.
