Guidance for Project Presentations (Urban 5111) Students are required to do a presentation on their project. This is worth 20% of your grade for the course. Previously students have delivered their presentations in a face-to-face setting in Week 10 of the course. However, given that some students might not be able to finish their projects by Week 10 and that there are high class numbers, it has been decided that students will pre-record their presentation and upload them to Moodle no later than 12 Noon (UK time) on Thursday 21st December 2023. The following information is designed to provide you with guidance on doing your presentation, please read it carefully. Guidelines for the presentation: 1. Your presentation should be 7 to 8 minutes long. When we are marking the presentations, we will stop watching (and marking) at 8 minutes and 10 seconds – any content recorded after this will not be included in the assessment and you will lose marks for not keeping to time. 2. Your presentation must have an audio commentary of you presenting your work (you cannot just upload slides). 3. Please speak as clearly as possible when recording your presentation. There can be a temptation when doing a presentation to speak very quickly because you are either nervous or have too much information to present. Please avoid speaking very quickly as this makes it much harder to understand what you are saying. If I can’t understand what you are saying, I cannot give you marks for the parts where I can’t understand as I won’t know whether what you said was worthy of marks. 4. Your presentation must start by you introducing yourself and giving your Glasgow University Identification Number (GUID). 5. You must have an opening slide (e.g., a PowerPoint slide) which gives your GUID. 6. Your presentation should be an outline of what will be going into your final report. You should therefore include the following in your presentation: o An opening slide with your GUID and a title for your project. o An introduction to your project and your research questions. o A discussion on data and methods used in your project. o The results – what have your major finding been? o Preliminary discussion and conclusions. 7. It is strongly recommended that you have slides/visual aids (e.g., PowerPoint slides). This will help you focus your presentation and also will enable the viewer to see the work that you’ve done and the maps that you have produced. This is a good way of you showing off your GIS skills.         2 Recording your presentation There are a number of ways of recording your presentation. Which method you use is up to you and I recommend using the method you feel most comfortable/experienced with. If you want a very straightforward way of recording your presentation, I recommend using Zoom (which is how I recorded the lectures for the online courses in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic).
