"Great Expectations"
for
Class Presentations:

1) Students "On The Spot"

During two class sessions - on January 5th and January 12 -- students taking ENVR E120 for credit will be expected to give class presentations, based on their term paper research. Presentations are to be limited to 6 minutes (this will be timed and restricted, so that all students will have an equal chance to present their material and none can monopolize a disproportionate amount of the time available.

A sign-up sheet will be circulated in the Class Session 11 - 8 December for those in class wanting to sign up for these two sessions. Times will be assigned to the respective dates once a list of the classtime presenters is drawn up.

Those presenting their material in class on these two days should limit their graphic materials for their presentations (if they wish to use any at all) to 5 PowerPoint slides. These slides are to be sent ahead of time -- deadline = Monday 2 January 2005 -- to: Zachary Zevitas in a file that clearly indicates your name so that your materials can be readied for your presentation at the appropriate time in the following two class sessions.

2) Distance Learning Students
Distance learning students will need to submit a presentation that is expected to be more extensive, more detailed and with greater documentation than that of those presenting in class, since they will not have to cope with the immediate presure and constraint of a 6-minute, public presentation.

The material for their "presentations" can take the form of a PowerPoint presentation (in PPT, PPS, or HTML format), a short VHS or CD/DVD video or a creative equivalent. All of these materials will be viewed individually and judged to be the equivalent of the "in class' presentations made by those taking the class in Cambridge. You should consider your presentations as potentially "viewable" on the course website.

The materials (PowerPoint presentations or VHS, CD/DVDs etc) are to be sent physically to:
