Presentations
Individual presentations should be 6-8 minutes long. Presentations are meant to develop speaking and presenting skills and transmit something of your experience of your reading and understanding of the concepts engaged with to the rest of the class.
Presentations should:
1) Relay to the class what you think the point/main argument of the text you’re presenting on is in an informative and understandable way. It does not require that you completely understand everything in the text or have to convey everything in the text to the rest of the class. Rather, distill what you think the important concepts are and what you think is important for everyone to grasp.
2) Relate this to broader topics/questions in media and communications, bringing in concrete examples the text might apply to.
3) Provide your own opinion of the text and concepts put forth in it.
