Work-in-progress Presentation

A Work-in-progress presentation is a chance to do two things while still in the middle of research work, a learning process, or project of most any type:
  1. Articulate what you've done and what you think you know, and where you need to go from here. It is a chance for you to listen to yourself and use that experience to move forward, based on what you do or don't say.
  2. Receive feedback from others that helps to continue clarifying your ideas and directions.

For our course in particular, your Work-in-progress presentation will focus specifically on the connections that you have made in order to "fill the gap" between the description of the current Theme, and the Written/Creative Product that you will develop to respond to that Theme. Review the Course Notes and Instructions to remind yourself about what is expected for the Written/Creative Product, and then design a brief presentation that will help you achieve #1 and #2 above. The presentation is informal and a chance for you to pull your thoughts together, so you might mention some or all of the following:

For each presentation, you will receive brief written feedback from everyone in the class right away. You will then be able to take this feedback and consider it before you submit your Written/Creative Product the following week.
