Lecturette Assignment Description
The purpose of the lecturette is to provide you with the opportunity to practice organizing and presenting an academic mini-lecture or presentation in your area of expertise. You should consider this assignment a good litmus test of your ability to convey the main ideas of your field to a wider educated audience.
Things to consider when preparing for your oral presentation include:
- Choose a topic that you are interested in and that is relevant to your academic and/or professional goals (you might choose a basic lecture on an area in your discipline appropriate for Freshman or something you will later present at a conference or meeting)
- Keep in mind topics regarding style, organization, and presentation that we have covered during our weekly meetings.
- Practice your presentation before your assigned day and time yourself. Be sure to stay within the fifteen-minute time limit.
- Your lecturette will be followed by a short question and answer session. Think about and anticipate questions your classmates may ask in response to your presentation.
Media
You may choose to provide supplementary materials or support your presentation with slides or OHP transparencies. These extra should not distract the audience from your presentation. Please remember that technology does not always cooperate. Therefore, you should always have a contingency plan so that in case technology fails, you will still be able to present.
Evaluation
You will receive several different kinds of feedback on your presentation. Your peers and instructor will evaluate your lecturette and give narrative feedback.
