During the week before finals the students are putting on presentation in front of class. The presentation will be on a specific concept covered during the semester. Each student will sign up for the topic of their choice (see attached sign/up sheet) The presentation should take approximately 10 minutes, and an additional 5 minutes for the quiz.
The format for the presentation is as follows:
(1) The presenter (or team of two) will be prepared with either
notes to be written on the white board or
notes on an overhead slide or
notes on butcher paper to be taped on the wall
(2) The presenter will have a quiz to give to the class as follows
Problems that can be competed in 5 minutes or less
Answers that can be verified by the teacher before the presentation
(3) After the quiz , the presenter will collect the papers from all the students into a folder provided by the teacher and verify they are filled out correctly
Student’s code
Presenter(s) code
A grade from the student for the presenter (0-20)
(4) The presenter will grade the papers from all the students and
Give each student a score (0-
5 points) in color next to the student’s code
Sort all the papers in alphabetical order, by last name of the student
Return to teacher by the next class.
In summary: The students need to be ready to make a 10 minute mini-lesson and have a 5 minute quiz to give the class to take on the section.
Each student will be given two grades at the end of the presentations:
Presentation grade (out of 100) - normalized from the average of the 0-20 grades from the class
Final Quiz grade (out of 100) – normalized from the average of all quizzes 0-5 from all presentations
Notes:
Each student is responsible for taking all quizzes except for the one quiz they are presenting.
No other homework will be assigned for the duration of these presentations (they start on Tuesday after MLK day)
Presentations will be assigned in the order that they are signed up (“A” first)
