BA479 - Comments about presentation and report Due by Friday of dead week this Winter 2007 term (Can submit earlier). - Attendance is required for everyone in class during the presentations. Presentation guidelines:- Maximum of 3 students are allowed in one group. Each group member is expected to be physically present in class during the presentation, and talk for at least 5 minutes. This does not include time limit for Q&A. - Each group should use PowerPoint or other visual aid tools. It is better to get the approval of the instructor if your group is not planning on using PowerPoint. - A copy of the PowerPoint handout should be provided to the grader in class prior to the presentation. Both hard copy and e-copy submissions are required. E-copy can be submitted after the presentation. - It is expected that there will be at least a 5 minute break between two consecutive presentations scheduled for the same day. This would allow one group to log off the network and for the next group to logon to the network. This break would also allow the instructor to pass on any quick immediate feedback to group that has just completed the presentation. - Every group is expected to meet with the instructor prior to their presentation (as often as necessary).- Every group is required to submit a written report (with appropriate references) detailing their findings about their respective topics. Both hard copy and e-copy submissions are required. (Please see reverse side for additional details). - Eye contact, professional approach, use of multimedia, invoking/sustaining interest of audience, and making the audience understand subject matter are some key grading criteria. Specifying learning outcomes of presentation may help.Some comments about the report:Your report should be typed, double-spaced, stapled and should have: A cover page with names of your group members and the topic name Date and Course # should also be mentioned on the cover page E-mail should have course # (BA479), topic name on the subject line.
