Multimedia Presentation

This semester, you and up to two partners will be responsible for a 10-minute multimedia presentation.

Requirements:

• The presentation must be no more than 10 minutes in length.
• There should be 10-12 slides (including introduction and conclusion) and should contain least one video clip—absolutely no more than two minutes in length.
• On the day of your presentation, email your presentation (or a link) to me at daniel.hendeldelao@sjsu.edu.

Also:

• You may utilize any presentation program you like (e.g PowerPoint, Keynote). 
• You must provide your own laptop.
• Please sort out any technical issues BEFORE your presentation date (our room's projection system can be found throughout campus). Macs will require an Apple-specific adapter to connect to the university’s projection system. Newer model PCs with HDMI-only connections will also require special adapters.
• You must present from a downloaded version of your presentation (e.g. PowerPoint, Keynote); DO NOT present directly from Google Docs online.
• Presentations without an introduction and/or conclusion cannot score higher than a C. You also may be docked for a lack of preparedness.
