Lesson 4: Final Delivery and Critiquing of Presentations
Overview
During this fourth week of the unit, you will deliver your final presentation to your Open Learning Faculty Member, as well as your peers. It is your chance to use all of your learning from this unit, and the formative feedback you received so far from your peers, to deliver an exciting high-quality presentation.
You will also be asked to formally critique a final presentation by one of your peers (someone you never worked with before), while informally critiquing the other peer presentations as you listen to them.
Lesson Objectives
Upon successful completion of this lesson, you will be able to: · Deliver an effective presentation · Critique a presentation given by one of your peers
Assignment 1: Final Delivery (75%) and Assignment 2: Critique of Presentations (15%) Based on the size of the class, your Open Learning Faculty Member will set up one or more Elluminate sessions for the final presentations during Week 4 at a time that’s convenient for the majority of class members. During your appointed synchronous Elluminate time, complete your presentation to your OLFM and peers (those who are able to attend, including the person who will be critiquing your presentation as part of the peer review assignment).
If you are unable to attend any of the scheduled Elluminate sessions, you are expected to videotape your presentation for submission to both your OLFM and reviewing peer for grading and feedback. You are also required to view the Elluminate presentation recordings at your earliest convenience (by the end of Week 4) in order to do your own peer review assignment. In order to critique your assigned peer's presentation, you will be required to use the checklists from Chapter 10, 11 and 12 of the text. Please submit the completed checklists and brief written feedback (about 150 words), both to your Open Learning Faculty Member and to the peer involved. This feedback will count for 15% of your final grade, based on the peer review rubric provided on the assessment rubrics page. On the same page, you can also find information about how your OLFM will grade your presentation, using the checklists from the text that you are familiar with.
Final Online Discussion 3 · Ask questions or make final comments about anything you have learned in this unit. How do you think your presentation compared to those you may have done in the past?
Optional Activities · Read any of the Presentation Skills Training Articles at http://presentationstraining.net/presentation_training_skills_articles.htm that may be of interest to you. · Consider signing up for a social bookmarking site, such as Delicious or Diigo so that you could bookmark any of the online resources you wish to have easy access to in the future or share with others. · Using a free tool such as Word Press at http://wordpress.com/, you may wish to start a personal blog about your experiences as a manager, including your successes with giving presentations. It’s a good idea to stay connected with your fellow MBA classmates, who can become part of your personal learning network.
