Student seminars

Each student or set of students will be asked to conduct a seminar on their term paper topic.

Using external resources as appropriate (minimum of six secondary sources), prepare a discussion of your topic.  Include in your presentation a closing link to inspire further class discussion.

Students often choose to present their seminars using Powerpoint.  Here are a few suggestions and tips on using Powerpoint:

• Powerpoint slides should be in note form, cues to keep the audience’s attention, not full paragraphs of spoken text.
• Speak to your slide; do not read it. The slide should be a visual representation of what you are discussing.
• Longer quotations fully written out on a slide–and including a proper reference–are beneficial to viewers.
• Interesting graphics and humour are always appreciated!

Your classmates will be evaluating your seminar, and giving you written feedback and a grade using the following form:
