Presentation Instructions
You are required to individually create a PowerPoint presentation with a narrated audio recording on a selected topic (choose one from the provided options below) for one of the weeks 7-11. Please see instructions for audio recording in PowerPoint in the LMS. Student’s presentation weeks are allocated in seminars in Week 4 – if you do not have a week to present, please contact your tutor to arrange one.
The presentation must be no more than 3-4 minutes long and include 2-3 content slides. Each slide should be referenced using the La Trobe Harvard Referencing System, and you should include an additional ‘List of References’ slide at the end of the presentation.
You are required to upload your narrated presentation in your designated week to your seminar’s LMS forum (in the ‘Assessments’ block under Assessment 3) by 9am Monday of your allocated week. Please make the subject for the post: Week X Presentation: TOPIC.
The presentation is worth 15% of your overall mark.
Presentations will be assessed by teaching staff (not fellow students) based on the following criteria:
• Demonstrated understanding of chosen topic (3 marks available)
• Engagement with a concept or idea canvassed in PDC (3 marks available)
• Incorporation of relevant and credible sources and research, including references (3 marks available)
• Slides are clear, informative and visually engaging, with minimal to no errors (3 marks available)
• Verbal presentation is relevant, concise, engaging and easily understandable (3 marks available)
Peer Review Instructions
You are required to complete a total of five peer reviews; that is one per week during weeks 7-11. You can submit your peer review each week by replying to the presentation post in your seminar’s forum in the LMS. You should complete your peer review by the end of each week (11.59pm on Sunday) to receive 1 mark towards the total 5 marks available for peer reviews.
Please be mindful that the presenter will be able to read your feedback – make it constructive, but kind and fair (just as if you were speaking face-to-face in a classroom environment). To be awarded 1 mark, each peer review must include:
• One or more strengths of the presentation
• One area for improvement
• One question it prompted about the topic
There is no word limit for peer reviews. Incomplete or inappropriate posts will receive 0 marks. PRESENTATION TOPICS
Under each weekly theme, you will find a choice of presentation topics.
