Shoreline Community College annual outcomes assessment report—2002-03

Presentation

The presentation will be a 5 minute speech to a small group. Basically you will present your topic/concept and answer the questions posed for the paper assignment. The goals are:

• 
  to get you disclosing to your group
  
• 
  to get to know each other better
  
• 
  to prepare and practice a longer presentation
  
• 
  to engage/facilitate a group presentation in a conversational manner
  

On the due dates for these reports, you will present to your group. I’d suggest you figure out an order of speaking before the due date. Please have someone keep tract of time for each speaker. Each person will have 5 minutes to do the following:

1. 
   Tell what skill you chose and why.
   
2. 
   Tell your experience of that behavior before you practiced the “skill”.
   
3. 
   Tell, briefly, about your observations of others and how you practiced the skill.
   
4. 
   Read, sing, perform, teach, engage in role-plays, bring in resources (books, videos, music, drawings, photos, etc.) to engage your audience/group in the skill more fully.
   
5. 
   Tell how you feel about your approach to the skill and what the outcome was.
   
6. 
   Get feedback and answer questions from your peers.
   

Your group will evaluate your presentation (worth 20 points) based on the following:

• 
  Organization: Is there a logical order to your discussion? Do you have an intro., body, conclusion?
  

• 
  Thoroughness/Completeness: Did you include everything necessary to demonstrate to the audience your skill? Could you have said more? Less? Did you manage your time well?
  

• 
  Approach: Was your approach to practicing the skill the most appropriate? Could you have done something different that might have been more beneficial? Is it clear that you put effort into this project? Is it apparent that you got the most out of it?
  

• 
  Delivery: Did you speak clearly, at the appropriate volume, rate, etc.? Did you talk to or with your audience? Were you conversational? Did you manage your time well?
