Discussion Paper: One (1) typed page per group, which has sections for
• Team name
• Team members
• Learning objective
• Detailed paragraph explaining the learning objective in more detail, with citations
• Plan of presentation (at least one substantial paragraph that explains what will happen in class and why it is hoped it will teach the learning objective)
• Role of individual group members (can be the same for everyone!)
• References
Bring a hard copy of the paper to class, and also email it to the Professor and TA, as well as emailing any presentation slides (e.g. .ppt files) and other materials (e.g. handout docs).
Title the paper: “ESE 200 Presentation group X.doc”, where X is your group number.
If your presentation is too big to upload to Moodle, it can be brought in on a memory stick on the day of your presentation. All materials must include “ESE 200 Presentation group X” in their file name – this will help us keep track of things.
In-class Presentation: One presentation per group.
Every group will write one clicker question with 5 answers (of which 1 or more is the correct answer, the others being incorrect, but plausible, “distractor” answers). The presentation will be a sequence of
1. An initial iclicker question
2. A quite short explanation of the concept that indirectly helps with the clicker question posed
3. A class discussion coupled with a second response to the initial iclicker question
Some other guidelines:
• Order will be in initial learning objective number – 1 to 10 on the Tuesday, 11-20 on the Thursday
• 5 minutes maximum per presentation, I will give a one minute warning at 4 minutes.
• Can involve the A/V equipment in the classroom, or any materials that you bring to class. Given at least a week’s notice we can photocopy handouts.
• It’s okay if you don’t use all your time!
Grading criteria are:
1. Class engagement and teaching effectiveness (does the class get involved, and do they learn in a sustained way?) 20 points
2. Understanding of the concept (does the group presenting show that they themselves have a deep understanding of the learning objective?) 20 points
3. Teamwork (does it appear that the team worked together?) 10 points
Advice:
o Grading part 1 will mainly be a result of what happens in the class. Is the iclicker question good? Is the presentation that explains the concept well done?
o Grading part 2 and 3 will depend in large part on the discussion paper and how it compares with what happens in class.
o Start planning how you will meet in your groups and make progress! Assign roles – like planner, presentation leader, paper leader, or whatever.
