PRESENTATIONS FOR E212 BRITISH LITERATURE SINCE 1760

Most sessions will feature one or more student presentations that will give you a chance to hear different perspectives on the course readings, and I will also post the written versions students send me to a special blog so those interested can review them. Your presentations will also help me determine the direction my own comments, encouraging me to respond to your ideas rather than lecture continuously. See the syllabus for the presentation requirement\u2019s value as a percentage of the course grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. On the first day of class, look over the authors or texts on our syllabus and then, next to your name on the roll sheet I will pass around, suggest several authors or texts that you might like to present on. I\u2019ll try to give you the choices you have made, to the extent that the schedule permits. Depending on class size, each student will give two or three presentations. Be aware that if you choose only very popular authors or texts (Jane Austen, Hamlet,<\/em> etc.), I may need to schedule you for something different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Within a few days, check the schedule on this page to see when and on which authors and questions you are slated to present. I will complete the schedule by choosing specific question\/s to be addressed from among the full sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. As early as you can before the in-class presentation, email me a written draft of the remarks you plan to make about the author\/question you\u2019ve been assigned. This draft should be proofread and spell-checked; it should also be substantive and refer to the actual language of the text being discussed, with page numbers, act\/scene\/line, or verse lines provided as appropriate. Include a copy of the question above your response. For any subsequent presentations, email me a draft at least five days in advance and I will soon email you comments either suggesting how the presentation might be improved or affirming that what you\u2019ve written sounds fine. If, however, my return comments on the draft you sent me (whether intended as rough or final) suggested revisions, email me a final version at least one day before you present in class, again making sure to include a copy of the question at the beginning of your draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insightful responses are better than \u201canswers\u201d. I encourage you in advance to develop your remarks so that they go beyond the question at its simplest. The office hour (or email consultation for second and subsequent presentations, if any) and \u201cadvance final draft\u201d requirement is 30% of your grade for the presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. On the scheduled day and when we reach the appropriate point in our discussion, I will ask you to come to the front of the class and give the most up-to-date version of your presentation. Your presentation should take about five minutes. Some students prefer to read their comments lecture-style, while others prefer to depart from the full written version and speak from a separate outline. If you read from prepared remarks, how long should they be? I\u2019ll use my own pace as an example: I speak at an average rate of 130 words per minute when I read conference papers. So a 5-minute presentation would run 650 words. Tips: Read the question first, address the entire class, and remind us of page numbers when you quote. Speak firmly and slowly enough so that everyone can follow. It\u2019s best to avoid bringing technology such as Powerpoint into play given the presentations\u2019 brevity. But I am open to creative ideas. I will not<\/em> grade your in-class performance closely — it\u2019s easy to do well if you prepare in advance and make a good effort, and your colleagues will be supportive. Completing the in-class component is 70% of the grade for each presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Please check the schedule below on this page to verify the current status of your in-class presentation and blog entry. Within a few days after you\u2019ve completed both, next to your name should appear the notation (Presented\/Posted to Blog)<\/strong>. If you see other notations as indicated below in \u201cHow I Evaluate Presentations,\u201d please contact me by email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW I EVALUATE PRESENTATIONS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I will judge presentations on the following grounds: did the student 1) meet with me or email me a timely advance final draft so that I can offer advice and determine the course of my own comments? and 2) seem to have put genuine effort into preparing rather than treating the presentation as a barren \u201canswer\u201d to a question set in stone? Students who do those two things will receive an \u201cA\u201d for the presentations requirement. I am not going to grade presentations so much on in-class factors as on how well students prepare and (again, if necessary) follow up. The following notations will help you keep track:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Presentation completed)
(Presented in Class but no written version)
(Missed Presentation)
(Rescheduled Presentation)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MISSED PRESENTATIONS \/ RESCHEDULING PRESENTATIONS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you find that you will be unable to make it to class for one of your scheduled presentations, please let me know in advance if possible. (I\u2019ll make my cell phone number available when the semester begins, though I won\u2019t post it on the Internet.) So long as you have provided me with a timely advance draft of your remarks (I usually print them out and bring them to class), I will read the presentation for you and give you partial credit for the \u201cin-class\u201d portion of the presentation grade. If you haven\u2019t provided me with a final advance draft, I will not read it in class. In such cases, rescheduling on a new author or text may be possible at my discretion and if the schedule allows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRESENTATION \/ SESSION SCHEDULE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Below is a list containing four things for each session: the authors\/texts we will discuss, the number of each study question I\u2019ve chosen for discussion, the presenters\u2019 names, and the color-coded status of the presentation. The author hyperlinks below will take you to the relevant study questions pages — they are the same pages from which you choose questions for your journal sets. *Please note that I may specify two questions rather than one (as in \u201c12-13 combined\u201d) if I find that two short questions go together well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
