FAQ

__**Facts and Questions About the Group Project:**__ 1. Some thing to keep in mind as you prepare for the group presentation:
 * Up to 18 minutes, and everyone must present equal time.
 * Please do not directly read from a note card or from the PPT slides. Your eyes should be on the audience most of the time. Please practice practice practice so your can own your information and deliver with ease.
 * Have a clear intro, body, and conclusion for your presentation
 * Video should be less than 2 minutes (IF POSSIBLE).

2. After your group presents, please:
 * Upload your group's PPT file on Bb, in Assignments. Only one person from the group need to upload the PPT on behalf of the group.
 * Individually upload your peer evaluation on Bb, in Assignments. On MS Word, just type everyone's names including yours, and divide 100 points between all members including you. You do not have to give everyone equal points as it should be based on their contribution and participation. Don't for get to include your name too.

3. Please show up to class, on time, even if your group is not presenting. You will evaluate presentations by other groups and your input counts. So please come to class to earn your participation points and to give your feedback

4. How will the grading be done for this project?

Everyday when 3 groups present, the presentations will be peer reviewed based on a matrix. Then, the three teams will be ranked as #1, #2, and #3 by your peers and me. This process leads to your group project grade along with what is documented on the wiki, your assessment of each team member per #2 above, and comments and observations during the presentation.

5. How will the grading be done for the presentation itself? The matrix for grading is based on:
 * Nice and professional deliverable of intro, body, and conclusion
 * Integrate why this topic is important for everyone to know... (can include in intro)
 * Clear organization of information
 * Professional communication skills with good choice of words, natural delivery,
 * PPT is not cluttered with paragraphs and long sentences. Rather, use simple bullet points with main points not to exceed 6 or 7 items. Double check for spelling errors, grammatical errors, and graphic busy visuals.
 * Eye contact should be w/ the audience (minimal reference to your ppt slides and note cards)
 * Team looks enthused and knowledgeable about the topic
 * Video is relevant to the topic and well done

6. Can the video your team makes exceed 2 minutes? Yes it can.

7. Do we have to dress professional when we present? Semi-professional/business casual is fine with me. Just make sure you look like a team in that whatever dress code you decide on, everyone follows the decision.

8. After presenting our powerpoint how many minutes do we have to answer the audiences questions? About 2 minutes.

9. Worst case scenario, iIf a member is late how long do we get to wait before it is okay to proceed with our presentation? I will ask another team to present first rather than the whole class waiting on your team member to arrive.

10. Where do references go? At the end of the ppt slide.
