1. We begin next Tuesday.
2. You must have your presentation on a jump-drive. E-mailed projects take too long to find. Be ready. Also, your presentation must be submitted in CANVAS. It is possible to pull it up from there.  Do have the jump-drive as well. It is possible for the Internet to fail. Always have Plan B!
3. Your presentation should be no longer than 5 minutes and no shorter than 2 1/2 minutes.
4. If you are absent when it is your turn to present, you may be docked 10 points from the final presentation grade unless you contacted me in advance and made other arrangements.

Questions?

Let's practice. You will be given an object to use for a 45 second presentation. Enter the "stage" and talk to us about the object.
1. Tell us what it is.
2. Show it to us.
3. Tell us a "story" about the object.
4. Look at us.
5. Speak up. We need to hear you.
6. Stand professionally.
