Thinking about evaluations and presentations

Today we met as a class (a small one, but a class all the same) to review and preview what we are doing.

We took a look at some previous examples of evaluations written by students for their Higher project to get a sense of the structure, content and style of an evaluation.

We worked out the structure that both students used. The topics that they covered included: themes; problems; strengths; weaknesses; value of research; and the completed project's fit with the original brief.

I asked everyone to write a short evaluation of their progress to date in class. I'll give a copy to Tony as well.

I also collected and reminded folk of the research task that I had asked for by today. Some of you will be emailing the work later today.

Finally, I went over a suggested structure for the presentations which are due to start on the 6th May. I'll email a copy of the template that I put together based on your suggestions. Although, this is just a suggestion - remember the main point is that there is a logical structure to your presentation and that it lasts 15 minutes. I'd like to meet with you to chat about your presentation before the 6th. I'll be in contact. I need to see evidence of planning before you get up and do your presentation.

I think that's about it - take care and have a great Easter!
