PRESENTATIONS & EXHIBITS

DC Presentors

Thirty percent of your 393 grade derives from the quality of your project presentation.  The faculty regard communication of research findings as an essential skill, and this course requirement is our way to give you practice at it on topics you know better than anyone else by virtue of first-hand experience.  This is an opportunity.

Upon completion of the excursion, we assume and encourage that you share your experiences with others back here at home, and elsewhere.  Most of you have already received some considerable training in publicity vehicles, such as web sites, lecture graphics, and personal discussions.  These are valuable skills!  We want you to construct a public exhibition poster of what you experienced, and share it with those who could not accompany you.

Lest you think your work can only go back into some UWSP prof's office, be aware that past 393 students produced four successful capstone (490) projects, and made twelve professional presentations from their field work, at Stevens Point, La Crosse, Reno NV, and Washington DC.  We encourage you to extend your fieldwork into other courses and public presentations.

We demand that you to develop team exhibits and presentations.  Not only does this foster creativity through collaboration, but it also captures some very favorable audience acclaim, and provides flexibility in light of busy schedules among the teammates.  Think about what successful teamwork shows to employers.

Ensure that your final submission is suitable for presentation to the public.  PROOFREAD your work!  BE SURE TO INCLUDE PROPER CITATIONS!!!  We will probably place your product in a public display, and your name(s) will appear with it.
