The Fall 2010 Syllabus

→Here is the link to the AASP course syllabus for 2010.

Please note that your section's instructor may give you a syllabus that is different in some ways. If so, please follow your instructor's syllabus. Also, please note that the schedule or class contents may change, so you need to keep up to date by listening to your teacher in class.

Guidelines for the Final Group Presentation

Basically, you will join a group of 3-5 students and develop a well-organized 15-20 minute group presentation that argues a thesis (opinion) persuasively.

Click here for a document that outlines the final group presentation and the steps of the project.

Also, here is one possible checklist for an effective persuasive presentation.

The following slide show is still under construction, but is one possible example:


Please note that your instructor may give you guidelines that are different from these. If so, please follow those of your instructor.

1-Minute Speeches & the Initial Assessment

One good way to develop confidence in presentation speaking is to repeat a basic speech, making it better and better with more techniques and practice.

That is why, in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th lessons of AASP Fall, each of you will give a one-minute speech.
The topic of the speech will always be the same: My Favorite ____ (place/book/person etc..)

1. In the 2nd class, you will make it to your partner, focusing on body language: eye contact, smile, and gestures.
2. In the 3rd class, you will make it to a small group of 3~4 people, focusing on the way you use your voice including volume, fluency (comfortable speed/pausing) and emphasis of key words.
3. In the4th class, you will stand in front of all classmates in the front of the room with a visual aid (PowerPoint slide etc.), and your speech will be video recorded like the good? example below.
   
4. Your short video will be used for your Intial Self-Assessment. You will watch your video, do a self-analysis, and set goals for improving your speaking skills.
   

One good way to practice is to record your voice like this on Voice Thread. You can do this easily in the ILC and can practice as many times as you like until you are satisfied :- )

Some Good? Bad? Presentation Samples

Below are a few presentation examples from the Internet.
What aspects of these presentations are good? What aspects are not so good?

Any presentation has room for improvement, so the important thing for you, as ICU students, is to keep developing your awareness of the characteristics of good presentations!

For example, in this first one, can you see what she is doing wrong in the first presentation? Try comparing it to the second.



Here's a creatively produced bad example. Please DON'T make presentations like the video below!



Finally, here is an example of a non-native speaker at Harvard. What are his techniques??



and here is an example of a "persuasive" speech. What aspects are good? What are the weaknesses?
