Groups

0 Commentsby

Each group is responsible for kicking off one week’s discussion, beginning Week 2 (30 October).

Each group will have 15-20 minutes at the beginning of class. Using various techniques (e.g. drama, electronic media, lecture, art), the group should produce a presentation that will challenge and stimulate the class in the assigned topic area. The aim is to kick off the conversation about that week’s topic, in an engaging and provocative way. Presentations should rely on at least some of the week’s assigned materials, but may go well beyond them.

It is important that each group member conscientiously participate in the group’s activities. Each member should have specified tasks in relation to developing the presentation and perhaps in delivering it as well.

Presentations will be evaluated by the class and the professor according to 1) the quality of its engagement with the material, 2) its effectiveness in challenging and stimulating good class conversation, and 3) involvement of all group members.
