Tutorial Presentation (20% of unit assessment)

Description

The tutorial presentation forms an integral part of learning in the unit. It is designed to give students

the opportunity to learn through independent research on a specific case relevant to one of the weekly

topics of the lectures. It is important that you only use credible and appropriate sources, which are

expected to be cited and listed as a reference list in both the presentation slides and the transcript you

submit. Students are free to choose any of the following topic so long as no other student presents it

(unless with the approval of the unit coordinator).

Deadline

22 Mar-17 May 2016, as allocated (Please note different deadlines on the day of presentation for the

paper copy, oral presentation and transcript of presentation—details below).

Task

The tutorial presentation includes three components: (1) an oral presentation in the tutorial class, (2) a

paper copy submission of the visual slides used for the presentation, and (3) an online submission of

the oral transcript of the presentation to Blackboard. Completing any of the three components of the

tutorial presentation is considered meeting the minimum requirement of completing the tutorial

presentation.

Choose one of the following to do a 4-minute presentation in English to your fellow students in your

Marking criteria

%代写 CHNS 2613 COMMUNICATION AND SOCIAL CHANGE IN CHINA

Accuracy of content 25

Richness of content (a minimum of two credible references) 30

Correct and proper citations and complete reference list (for slides and transcript) 10

Organization of material 5

Effective visual presentation for oral presentation 10

Clear and effective verbal communication during oral presentation 15

Effective submission (For paper copy of presentation slides: signed and completed cover

sheet, pages are stapled, font 12 minimum. For e-copy submission of transcript: copy is

typed, copy is submitted to BB as a single file, copy content is identical to presentation)

Time keeping of oral presentation (penalty for overrun)

Word count of transcript (penalty for excessive word length)

On-time submission (penalty for late presentation or late submission)

Total 100

If you do not do the oral presentation and only submit the other two components of the presentation,

you get no mark for the three criteria that specifically apply to the presentation.

If you do not submit the paper copy of the presentation slides and submit the other two components

only, you get no mark for “effective submission” and then have the total marks multiplied by 80%.

If you do the presentation and submit the paper copy of the slides but do not submit the presentation

transcript, you get no mark for “effective submission” and then have the total marks multiplied by

40%.

Total marks for the presentation are multiplied by the “Relevance of answer to question” factor,

which ranges from “1” to “0”. If you do a presentation on a topic not listed above, you get “0” in this

criterion and the presentation.

Penalties:

1. To ensure time is available for discussion, any presentation that runs longer than 4 minutes

will have marks deducted proportionally according to the over-run. A leeway of 10 seconds is

tolerated without penalty. This means a 5-minute presentation will have 20% of the marks

deducted. If it is shorter than 4 minutes, no penalty applies but the presentation may suffer in

the “richness of content” criterion.

2. A 10 % leeway is allowed for the word count of the transcript. If the transcript runs under 450

or over 550 words, penalty applies proportionally to the total marks of all the criteria in the

table. The word count includes every word in the file except the list of references. You must

include an accurate word count in the document.

3. Penalty applies to the total marks of the presentation assignment if the transcript is submitted

after 10 am of the presentation day according to the Faculty policy of 2% per working day.

Presentation time

 To ensure smoothing running of the presentations, you may change your presentation time

only with the approval of your tutor after the presentation times are allocated. If there is any

circumstance that prevents you from presenting at your scheduled time, you must seek her

approval well in advance for changing. Such request should be made before 9 am on the

Tuesday one week before the presentation. If you ask to change after this deadline, you must

give explanation and written documentary evidence to justify why you do not make the

request earlier. You may present in the week following without penalty only if your

explanation and evidence is accepted. If you miss your scheduled time of presentation

without prior approval, you may present in the week following. In such case, the

University’s late penalty of 2 percent deduction per working day applies to all the three

components of the tutorial presentation.

Submission requirements

Topics are allocated in week 2 during tutorial time.

Before the presentation is given, you must submit to the tutor in the tutorial class a paper copy of the

visual presentation slides with a signed SLC assessment cover sheet. The copy must be typed and

identical to your presentation.

An e-copy of the transcript of the oral presentation is to be submitted to Blackboard by 10 am on the

same day of the presentation. The transcript is limited to 500 words (+/- 10%) per student.

Both the paper copy of the slides and the transcript are expected to include in-text citations as well as

a reference list of the cited works. Lecture powerpoints are not citable.

Do not use footnotes in your transcript. If you do, they form part of the word count. You are expected

to follow the APA 6 th citation style.

To submit your transcript, you have to agree to the compliance declaration on BB. On the BB page of

this unit, click “Assessments” on the left column. On the right panel that opens, click the folder

“Tutorial presentation”, then “Compliance declaration : Oral presentation transcript”, and “Begin” in

the window that opens. After answering all three questions, click “Save and Submit”. On the lower

right corner, click “OK” to review your scores. If you score 3, then you can see the “Oral Presentation

Transcript Dropbox”. Click “View/Complete”. Input your name and the title of presentation (e.g.

Learn from Lei Feng, or Tank man) as the submission title.

If you see an error message when submitting to Blackboard, print the screen (or take a photo) of the

message. Try submitting your file 10 minutes later. If you encounter the same problem, try again after

another 10 minutes. If you encounter the same problem over three trials, email me right away your

transcript file together with the file of the print-screen of the error message that shows the time and

date of your unsuccessful attempt to submit.

Please print the digital receipt of successful submission as evidence of your submission. No other

evidence is accepted in case any dispute arises about the time of your submission. Please also keep a

copy of your transcript file. This is a way to ensure fairness to all students.

As a way to check plagiarism, the transcript will be analysed using the Turnitin software, which

detects matches between text in your submission and text found on the Internet, published works and

assignments previously submitted to Turnitin for analysis.
