Seminar Presentation Success Criteria and Further Instructions
- Students should review the assignment handout before Tuesday to make sure they have everything they need. (This should just be a regular habit now. Many students miss out on small details because they forget to go over the assignment. If you come unprepared for any reason, you will not be accommodated. You are behaving like a college/university student at this point. No discussions about forgetting readings, notes, or articles or being unable to print the article will be entertained.) Please make sure you put your articles into something. There is no way a stapler will go through everything. Dollarama is your friend.
- We will meet in class. Please hold all your questions when you enter the room. I will want to complete my attendance and then I will give you instructions (for people who are doing the seminar and not). After I am done that, I will take questions.
- While seminars are occurring, you may not approach me. I cannot have the flow of the conversation interrupted. I will not be handing out any hall passes. Trips to the washroom and locker are not permitted during the period so please be organized. Pretend your student accoutrements are like your cell phone---you never forget them :)
- Although I will be giving students who are not participating in a seminar work to do, you have my permission to work on other class work. My expectation is that I should not have to monitor your behaviour while the seminars are occurring.
Each member of the group is responsible for all articles and videos associated with your topic. See below.
