Delivering a Bad Presentation:-Spot the Mistakes

/in /by

After watching the video, lets begin this weeks discussion with the following opinion-based question:

1. We have all seen presentations, at work, in college, on the web, or perhaps in your community. What elements do you like to see when you are attending a presentation that would make you consider it a success? What elements would make you consider a presentation unsuccessful?
Now, after completing this weeks readings and viewings, lets continue on with these questions going through each one together:

2. Looking at the video list of mistakes and those you identified together as a group, which mistake(s) do you feel to be a deal-breaker in terms of presenting information, and what suggestions do you have to correct it?

3, Now that we are familiar with what makes a good presentation, are there additional things the presenter could have done better, besides the mistakes listed at the end of this video?

4. This week, you are beginning to develop your presentations, which will be due next week. As you start the process, what are some of the challenges to applying the writing process to developing a visual presentation?

Credibility Discussion Comment

/in /by

Remember, ethos refers to the credibility of someone making an argument, the likelihood that what they say will be found compelling because of how they present the information, the expertise they have, their reputation, etc.

You should evaluate the ethos of all of your sources. Would you give the same weight to any website on the internet that you would give to an academic, peer-reviewed journal?

Take a look at the following websites and make notes about the credibility of each.

    Reading the Short Story
    All About Explorers
    How to Write an Academic Essay
    Help Save the Endangered Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus

Once you’ve made your initial notes, review the sites again using the University of Southern Maine’s web resources checklist.

A note about Wikipedia: use to get a general understanding of a topic, but do not rely on as a source!

Return to your notes on the sample websites. Choose two sites and answer the following questions in well-developed, well-supported paragraphs.

    Which elements (voice/tone, rhetorical style, visual style, use of reliable sources, etc.) of the two sample websites did you find most compelling? Why? How were the authors able to simulate ethos?
    Which elements did you find least compelling? How did you determine site credibility?
