Preparation for Public Presentations on
Work-in-Progress
See Phase G. Clarification through communication;
Goal: "I have clarified the overall progression or argument underlying
my research and the written reports I am starting to prepare."
Analyze arguments implicated in previous student's research
Visual aids, and their use in aiding your on-going clarification of the
overall structure of your argument.
In class exercises:
Draft sequence of overhead projector transparencies and argument
structure.
Revise your own argument after analysis activity above.
Supply working title for your presentation that conveys what is
distinctive about your project.
For phases E & J: Mid-term
self-assessment/ discussion (gap between where you are and
would
like to be). Check with PT on any uncertainties in your assignment
check-list.
For all phases: Review journal/workbook, system to store course and
research materials on paper and on computer (e.g., zip disk) -- bring
all these to class if you have not already had them discussed at an
office hours meeting.
