You can switch, e.g., if you are a "Wednesday" person to a Sunday. But you MUST let me know of any such changes.
Once a day/time slot is filled, it is filled!

PLEASE UPLOAD YOUR PRESENTATION IN EITHER POWER POINT OR PDF TO THE DISCUSSION BOARD THREE DAYS IN ADVANCE.
Addy and I must get it into Canvas!

  TIME GUIDELINES

Signup days will be available in March. This schedule may vary slightly depending on the number of presentations and how many students form teams for their course project.

We'll work presentations through Collaborate Ultra.
Both can sometimes be a bit fussy, so please ensure your CHROME browser IS up to date!
 

This assignment is 25% of your grade. It requires:

preparing a two to three page synopsis for class distribution, summarizing conceptual and empirical literature on your paper topic. The synopsis outlines the topic, discusses major concepts and findings, and highlights directions for future research.

leading a brief discussion on the major points about your paper topic.

most students also prepare a Power Point presentation. Access to several prior Power Point presentations for the Group Processes course will be available under the "Presentations" module in Canvas.

I WILL POST SYNOPSES AND PRESENTATIONS TO OUR ONLINE SITE.

Try leaving 5 minutes for questions and discussion (I know, that's only 10-15 minutes for a presentation, but remember, people can scan the handout!)

Include examples in your presentation and handout. Concrete examples are a very helpful way to illustrate concepts.

Generally, I emphasize a conceptual summary:

• extract what you think are the main concepts for your topic
• describe and define each of these concepts
• give one or two research examples of the concept and
• give some everyday examples of your research and how it may apply to different types of groups
• if you are planning an empirical study describe how you will operationalize concepts and what your study design looks like
• if you are analyzing data, describe your data set
• if you will do a focus group, describe your topic, why a focus group is important, your focus group questions, and other study design features.
• Remember to put references at the end for anyone who would like to follow up on this topic!

MORE LOGISTICS 2018

I am assuming that almost everyone plans to present using Power Point.

•  If you need to change a date, please check with another presenter about switching and let me know ASAP!

• Please paste a 2-3 page handout that is a synopsis of your presentation to the Discussion Board. That way, we can follow along in your handout during your presentation. Please include references. Many do so as the last page of their handout.
• Addy and I need your presentations 3 days in advance! Please post to the Discussion Board.

• Feel free to have fun!

• Presentations from this year will be placed under COURSE DOCUMENTS in our Canvas WEB site.

• Your presentation will go better if you don't read your  slides. Memorize the key points. PRACTICE your presentation and be sure to time how long it takes.  See if you can ad-lib at least a little bit!
