Essay Pointers:
- "In chapter 11..." "In the third chapter..."
- Is it in your thesis? You better talk about it. Is it not in your thesis? Then why are you talking about it?
- Lots and lots and lots of summary for no reason. Use summary only to set up a piece of evidence or to lead into analysis.
- Stop needless quoting! Please!
- Very, very little actual analysis taking place
- Citation mistakes (periods, commas, etc.)
2. Group Speech presentations.
Please watch and listen for the following things to critique:
- body language (nervous or confident? open or closed?)
- emphasis, tone, and inflection (expressive or robotic? welcoming or disinterested? enthusiastic or bored?)
- volume
- audience participation (authentic or forced? necessary or superfluous?)
Speeches will NOT go past three minutes. I will give you signals at 2 more minutes, 1 more minutes, and 15 seconds. At zero, I will stop you.
