Section outline

    • THE PLAN

      1. Each student will create a presentation including him/her speaking, in the form of a video.

      - There will be two weeks reserved for creating this, 30/4 - 14/5. 
      - At the end of the first week, you need to hand in the outline of your presentation (see Assignment below). If you want, you can (at any moment) upload your (partly finished) slides, and I'll be happy to give you feedback.

      2. Students upload their video into the "conference" database in Moodle.

      - If the video is too large to upload, students will provide a link from which the presentation is accessible.

      3. You will have three weeks to watch your colleagues' presentations.

      - You have to watch the minimum of 3 presentations. You will be assigned one obligatory presentation, to make sure everyone's presentation is watched by at least one student.

      - Over this period there is no other work in Moodle.

      - The online classes continue uninterrupted! We will still meet every week.

      4. Students are asked to ask questions. Whenever you watch a presentation, think of a question for your colleague.

      - Leave the question in the form of a comment below the presentation. 

      - At the beginning of the next online lesson there will be space for answering these questions. 

      5. I will provide personal feedback on the presentation, mostly in terms of language. You will receive this via e-mail.

      Note: If at any stage you have any questions at all, ask me. These can be for example questions about the content, the design of the presentation (should I number the slides? should I add funny pictures?) about how to prepare, how to say something, how to pronounce something, how to find your way through this part of Moodle, or anything else.

    • By the end of the first week (7 May) hand in the outline of your presentation. It can be in any format. It needs to reflect the structure of your presentation, show that you know what you will present and in what order. 

      Bad example: "1. introduction,  2. main idea,  3. examples, 4. conclusions"

      Better: 1. introduction: defining a polycrystal, its main properties; 2. connection to stochastics; 3. goal of my thesis: to simulate possible distributions ...

      The numbers correspond to sections, not necessarily to individual slides.

    • This is where you upload your video talk.
