...(Week starting 27 August 2012) ------------------------------------------------- Time limit: (3 minutes, Powerpoint not required) ------------------------------------------------- This presentation is video-taped. ------------------------------------------------- Short written outline of your presentation (one page or less), submitted to your tutor ------------------------------------------------- in hard copy on the day you present. ------------------------------------------------- Presentation Assignment Prepare a presentation to introduce yourself to your class and tutor. The speech will be videotaped for your review and self-assessment. Your presentation should be thoroughly planned, outlined, and rehearsed but not memorized or read. This handout covers the introductory presentation assignment, procedures for giving most business presentations, and a specific assessment sheet to help you prepare your talk and to give peer feedback. TASK: Adapt to Audience and Purpose Prepare and rehearse a presentation to develop your professional identity, establish rapport with your peers, and practise giving a talk focused on the relationship between the people in the communication situation—that is, your audience and you, the speaker. Business presentations all have such a "relational" component in addition to information and ideas. People often focus on the informational component so exclusively, that they give inadequate attention to developing the relational...

...My overall impression on my speech was better than I anticipated. I was very nervous and anxious to get the speech over. I could tell that in the pace of my speech. I was rushing through it and at times it was hard for me to keep track of my place on the outline. I thought I gave good eye contact and I stayed on the speech path, but I could have projected my voice more so that it would have been easier to hear and understand what I was saying. I felt that the delivery was good but I could have moved around more and gave more hand gestures to keep my speech alive. Although I didn’t feel it was a boring speech, I feel like I still tell showed how nervous I really was by the body chemistry I gave off. I prepared a lot for the speech and I went over the speech 3 times in front of the camera at home. I think this helped me a great deal because I had full knowledge of what my speech was about. Because I was nervous and rushing through my speech I often lost my place on my outline, but was able to wing it because I had practiced. It helped a lot that I did my speech on a topic that I am very familiar with and used to talking about. I also used the technique in the chapter that tells you that when you are nervous take a deep breath and use a focus word, mine was “Money”. This technique helped me a great deal in the beginning because I actually felt overwhelmed and on the verge of an anxiety attack. Using this technique calmed me down and made me able to deliver my speech. ...

...PROCEDURE FOR WRITING A TERM PAPE A term (or research) paper is primarily a record of intelligent reading in several sources on a particular subject. The task of writing such is not as formidable as it seems if it is thought out in advance as a definite procedure with systematic perpetration. The procedure for writing such a report consists of the following steps: 1. Choosing a subject 2. Finding sources of materials 3. Gathering the notes 4. Outlining the paper 5. Writing the first draft 6. Editing the paper Now let's look at each of them. CHOOSING A SUBJECT Most good papers are built around questions. You can find subjects in any textbook. Simply take some part of the text that interest you and examine it carefully. Ask yourself the following things about it to see if you can locate a question to answer in your paper. Does it tell you all you might wish to learn about the subject? Are you sure it is accurate? Does the author make any assumptions that need examining? Can two of the more interesting sections in the text be shown to be interrelated in some useful way? Your paper is an attempt to write a well-organized answer to whatever question you decide upon, using facts for the purpose of proving (or at least supporting) your contention. The most common error made by students in choosing a subject for a term paper is to choose one that is too general. (The most specific subject will always have enough aspects to furnish a long paper, if you think...

...Speaking – COMMSTUD.103 Preparation Outline Guide for all 3 graded speeches The preparation outline helps you prepare the speech. The outline reflects a student’s research and thoughts about their presentation topic. In addition, this outline helps to verify that the speech is the original work of the student. Furthermore, the instructor uses the outline to provide comments and suggestions to students for future speeches. Guidelines for writing the Preparation Outline: Please see chapter 10 for additional information about preparation outlines and a sample preparation outline with commentary. The preparation outline must be 2 to 3 pages, typed, stapled, and free of grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors or points will be deducted from your speech grade. Copies of PowerPoint slides (if used, print 6 slides per page) must also be stapled to the preparation outline.

...websites, before choosing one that I deemed credible. Aaron started the outline, and we all agreed to turn in our assigned sections of the outline. However, Michael informed us he would not be attending class, so we had to complete his section. We decided to post our portions of the presentation to OLS. On Monday I posted all of my information, and added all information and the outline. Aaron added the conclusion and posted all of the work between the both of us. We put the information together even though our third person quit. I think our presentation would have been better if we would have known sooner that Michael would not be a part of the project. Aaron and I didn’t have the opportunity to meet and go over our presentation together. Aaron works nights, making it hard for him to meet during the day. Alternatively, we decided to post our work to OLS, in order to modify our work together. I posted all of my slides on Sunday night, and Aaron reviewed them. He also added pictures and created the quiz, and then added some pictures to the slide. After, I looked over our work and increased the amount of questions we had for the quiz, along with additional pictures for the slides. Aaron looked it over one last time, then proceeded to post our outline and PowerPoint. The ouline was not very difficult to create, as we just restructured the information on our slides into a condensed format better suited for an outline. The presentation was started by Aaron, who took longer than expected...

...material to work with, start outlining your speech. Use brief sentences to write out an introduction, a thesis, two main points, and a conclusion. Your thesis (and therefore, your speech) should address the following question: what kind of person is my classmate? Think about two qualities or attributes that describe your partner. Your classmate could be someone like: a sports fan, a musical talent, an outdoorsman, a car enthusiast, a spontaneous free spirit, or anything else that comes to mind. Be creative! 3. Once your full-sentence outline is completed, you can start rehearsing your speech. Be sure that your speech is not written out word-for-word; for extemporaneous speaking, you want your outline to be as concise as possible so that you can develop a more conversational style of delivery. 4. As you rehearse your speech, you should make adjustments and changes. If you’re confident enough, condense your full sentence outline into a speaking outline, such that it includes only your basic speech structure and key phrases and details....
