- AUDIENCE: Classmates

- STYLE: Informal
- PRODUCING: A draft (Beta) Presentation
- Percentage of Course Grade
- One of the goals of the Presentation is to give you some practice informally presenting something you are interested in to a small group. Think giving a brief presentation to a UMD student organization (e.g., MPIRG Links to an external site.) or campus interest group (e.g., Donut Connoisseurs of Duluth), or to a community organization that you belong to (e.g.s, The Superior Hiking Trail Association Links to an external site., Duluth Community Garden Program Links to an external site.), or something like a student presentation at a state/regional convention of your major (e.g., The Central Sates Anthropological Society Links to an external site.), or something like that.
- Percentage of Course Grade
Another e.g.: If you are thinking about something like a PowerPoint type of Presentation, consider doing the kind of presentation you would do for an organization you are a member of, for something like a "tabling" event at a fundraiser or at something like a recruitment fair.
The audience should be a group like your classmates, and your Presentation should be informal
Final Exam Question
- You do not need to submit any information on your reviews of your classmates' Presentations, just review them before Final Exam week and be prepared to answer the above question if you receive it on your exam from the Final Exam pool of questions.
- During Week 15 review 3-5 or more of your colleagues' Presentations, and be prepared to answer the following question which will be in the Final Exam Question pool:
- Compare and Contrast your Presentation with the Presentations of three others in class. If, in your opinion, your presentation was not the best in class, what would it take to make it the best?
As part of your discussion explain what units of analysis you and the others used, how they were used, and why you chose to use those exact ones you did.
- Compare and Contrast your Presentation with the Presentations of three others in class. If, in your opinion, your presentation was not the best in class, what would it take to make it the best?

You should review 3-5 of your classmates' presentations in preparation for the Final Exam.
(You do not need to submit anything specific pertaining to your reviews before the Final Exam, but it might help if you take a few notes--in the even that you get the following question from the Final Exam question pool.)
