2) Length of time you spent watching or reading the selection
3) Whether class time should be spent studying the selection and why or why not
4) A brief critique of the selection
a) what you liked or didn't like and why
b) what was done well or done poorly
c) what could be improved and how
3. Handout should be typed. Information may be in outline form, list form, or in paragraph form.
4. The oral report should not be more than 10 minutes.
5. Oral reports will be graded on how interestingly they are presented and on how informative the handout is. Late reports due to absence or lack of preparation will lose a letter grade.
6. Even if your presentation date is later in the semester, you should make plans early in the semester to check out the video and prepare your report. If you wait until a few days before the report is due, your video may be checked out and you will be unable to complete your report on time. If you are dissatisfied with the selection, please see the instructor for a possible alternative.
