PREPARING THE PRESENTATION edit
The purpose of the presentation is to give you an opportunity to tell us (the markers - i.e. Maria and me) about your work on the Wikipedia assignment as you prepare to write this all up in a 1500-word submission to be handed in the following day, as per the module handbook details.
Keeping in mind that the quality of your presentation is worth only 10% of the mark for this assessment, your presentation should aim to cover the following elements, which relate to the assessment criteria for this assignment:
Content (20%) edit
- A brief overview of the subject you're writing about
- The primary and secondary sources you found about your chosen subject
- A brief outline of the information you've uploaded to the Wikipedia page about your subject
- The contents of your user page
Understanding (30%) edit
- A brief outline of what you've learned about Wikipedia
- A brief overview of one or two issues that you encountered and how you proceeded to resolving this
Engagement (40%) edit
- How you've represented yourself on your userpage (and your user talk page)
- A list of the most important examples of engagement you've had on Wikipedia
- What you learned from other Wikipedians about the task of writing/editing a Wikipedia article
DURATION: Each student will present for up to 8 minutes with 2 minutes for questions from the markers, if required. Presentations should not be shorter than 5 minutes.
SEQUENCE: The sequence of presentations will be determined just before the start of the session, so please arrive early to load up your PowerPoint slides (if any) to the iMac in PS3 ahead of the start of the first presentation.
The presentations will be delivered to the rest of the students in the class, as well as the marking tutors.
