Month: March 2018

Phase 2 – 15 Marks in total (10- Presentation, 5 – Review)

In addition to the course booklet, this year, I have added a few more rules, here they go.

1. Develop a critique using your personal lens, well informed of other critiques about the project you have selected.
2. It is highly recommended that you find several books / critiques on your project. Online sources are shallow. Written critique is enriching. Name your sources on the last slide.
3. Develop a pdf that will contain 20 slides, 20 seconds each. The pdf itself will mainly be images / info graphics with little / no text.
4. You have to present in English.
5. You cannot read from the screen.. so you will / can hand handheld notes for each slide, study cards are highly recommended.
6. 5 days prior to the actual presentation, you will review your critique / take on the project with a one on one meeting with your instructor. (5 marks)
7. Set a personal time – about 20 minutes to discuss with your instructor, at a mutually agreed time – Whatsapp 442 461 9551
