Topic 15:
Introductions
This week is a continuation of last week. Students use the
same data sets provided for the conclusions unit to prepare
a presentation title and introduction portion. Now that
students have finished the conclusions and summary portion
of the presentation, they should have a clear idea of the
preparation that the audience needs in the beginning and the
proper direction to guide them. This is why we prepare the
summary portion before the introduction portion. We focus on
using the introduction as a tool to efficiently and
comprehensively introduce the key question and not as a
dumping ground for textbook-style background information.
Students prepare the title and introduction slides and
present them in class for peer and instructor critique and
advice.
