Student Presentation
Tips for Public Speaking

 
Overview: The Oral Presentation is an opportunity for you to share your findings with your classmates and to learn from them what they discovered in the course of their research.  This is an extemporaneous speaking presentation.  You should not read from your paper, from your PowerPoint presentation, or from your notes.  You may use notes to keep yourself organized, but you should speak in a natural way.  Please practice the presentation, dress appropriately, and plan to keep to your time limit.  A rubric specifically designed to grade this presentation will be distributed to you in class and can be found at the link below:



 
Choice #1: Traditional Research Paper

Length of Oral Presentation: 5-10 minutes (including questions from the audience)

Present your major points and support in a 5-10 minute extemporaneous presentation to your classmates.  Prepare and practice this presentation, but do not memorize or read it.  You may work from notes, but keep the presentation short and well-structured.  You may want to focus on a particular aspect of your paper that you think the class might find interesting, or you can give a general overview of your thesis and findings.

Choice #2: Group PowerPoint Presentation

Length of Oral Presentation: 5 minutes per student (with an additional 5 minutes for questions)

Present your completed PowerPoint to the class in a presentation which runs about five minutes per person. Each member of the group must speak for at least five minutes, and the presentation should run no more than 25 minutes, total.  Prepare and practice this presentation, but do not memorize or read it.  You may work from notes, but keep the presentation short and well-structured.
