Update - 11/12/2014

At lunch today, I went to the EPQ meeting with Steph. In this meeting, Steph talked through everything we need to know about the presentation section and also to have a general update on what we should be doing at this point our projects. 

Between now and the overall deadline (20th March 2015)
- Meet up with supervisor to complete production log
- Complete final project (essay)
- Make and give presentation
- Submit (a) journal (e.g. blog), (b) production log, (c) final project and (d) materials related to presentation (e.g. powerpoint)

Presentation information
Purpose:
  • Provide overview of your entire process - successes, failures and solutions
  • Summary of your final product and conclusion
  • Public demonstration - in order to demonstrate your presentational skills to an audience of non-specialists
Include:
  • Evidence
  • Failures - e.g. visiting London libraries
  • Successes - e.g. contacting experts
  • Journey of your project
  • Overview of final product
Tips for presentation:
  • Draft
  • Don't just read from board
  • Script or notes
  • Rehearsing = confidence =
This session was really useful because it help put everything I need to do before the deadline into perspective and will help me plan my use of time better (I will make a blog post plan in a few days). Steph also sent everyone the powerpoint from the lesson and a checklist and a handout about the presentation. (All of these are shown below.)
