Requirements for Podcast #4

It’s hard to believe that we’ve hit that point in the semester, but you are closing in on the final podcast for the course. The podcast is due by 8:50 on Tuesday April 10. As you may recall, Podcast #4 is a presentation about your term paper or final project. I expect your research to be largely, if not fully, complete by the time you put together your presentation. The presentation should be 7-10 minutes long and should include the use of graphics/slides to help make your point. The project is comparable to a short conference presentation—it will need to include an introduction and a conclusion. Make sure the viewer gets the key points about your research/project. If you are presenting a paper/proposal, you will need to include a brief literature review—this should not be exhaustive, just hit the highlights (key works). For those presenting a proposal, make sure you discuss how/when you might implement the research. If you are presenting about your project, you will need to discuss the project, its purpose, its structure, and how it was/is being produced. You should also address who the audience is, how the project will be used, and what you have learned/are learning in the process of developing it. This should not be a rough draft of the project. Please pay attention to jump cuts and stray clips when you are editing. This is last podcast, make it good.

I would like to see a draft of the paper or project for April 17th so that I can provide you feedback on the 24th and give you time to implement it by the final due date of May 1. Don’t forget that you need to leave feedback for all of your classmates this time. You will need to leave feedback by the beginning of class on April 24th.

I will be here on the 10th, class is optional, turning the assignment in, however, is not. I will not be here on the 17th. Feel free to meet and discuss without me if you like (or not).

See you in class.
