Overview

The purpose of the
Lecture: Final Presentation Assignment is to demonstrate your understanding and use of effective teaching/lecturing strategies. The
Lecture: Final Presentation Assignment will also give you experience in creating an audio recording of a lecture to communicate academic material. For the
Lecture: Final Presentation Assignment you will submit an
8–10 minute
narrated PowerPoint lecture
based on the
Lecture: Topic and Outline Assignment submitted earlier in the term. To complete your narrated PowerPoint, you will need to create an audio recording of yourself giving your lecture to a hypothetical classroom of students.

Instructions

Your submitted lecture will be graded on the following components:

·
Lecture Content/Organization – For full credit, your lecture should contain sufficient definitions/descriptions of the topic/content along with appropriate examples and/or research support. Your lecture should be organized and flow in a logical manner.

·
Active Learning/Demonstration Description – Your presentation should include a slide in which you describe one
in-class active learning exercise
OR demonstration that you would give to the hypothetical class listening to your lecture. You do

not
need to actually administer or complete the exercise/demonstration. You are only required to briefly describe what would happen in the actual classroom. Your description should include:

· Details of the demonstration or steps the students will need to follow for the active learning exercise

· Explanation of how the demonstration or activity connects to what students are learning in the lecture

*
Note that this description

does
count toward your 8–10 minute lecture time frame.

·
Oral Communication Skills – You will be graded on oral communication skills including: tone of voice, inflections, speech volume/speed, confidence in speaking, etc.

·
Presentation Design – Slide design should be simple, but generally aesthetically pleasing. Design should not be overly distracting or wordy.

·
Timing – Because instructors have to fit a lecture within a certain class period, your ability to limit your lecture to the 8–10 minute span will be assessed. Lectures too short or too long will be penalized.
*Note that the run-times of any linked videos/multimedia in your lecture

do not
count toward your 8–10 minute lecture limit. The 8-10 minute limit refers to time spent narrating/lecturing.

Additional assignment requirements:

· Your presentation must use the same textbook for the hypothetical course you’ve used throughout the term.

· Your final lecture topic must match the one submitted for your Lecture Topic and Outline assignment earlier in the term (unless prior approval is obtained). However, you are allowed to make needed changes in specific content points, organization, and the active learning/demonstration if desired.

· Include a title slide at the beginning of the presentation containing your topic, the course title, and your name.

· Your slides must contain APA formatted citations when necessary. You must also include an APA-style reference slide at the end of your presentation containing your textbook reference and any other sources used.
