Presentations Calendar

Before each workshop, be sure you have read the applicable chapters in your textbook and completed the draft of the presentation to be considered that evening.

Rough draft presentations must be ready to discuss in class, but are not turned in. Your polished final presentations are due one week after class, and must be submitted to the instructor via Canvas.

Each presentation timespan is roughly four weeks. Dr. Loertscher will introduce one at each workshop (with the exception of the last two), you will have two weeks to come up with a rough draft, you will share it at the next workshop, and you will turn in your final presentation one week later. As you can see below, there is an overlap where you will be beginning the next one while finishing up the last one. Each workshop will have a similar format, so you will get accustomed to how to proceed through each presentation assignment in the course.
