ISM 50 Oral Presentations & Folios

Fall 2005

Oral Presentations

Each class will include two five minute student presentations. We will assign students to presentation slots at the beginning of the quarter. The presentations will either be on:

(1) Summary of the case to be discussed that day.

(2) Presentation of a recent relevant news story

The presentation should be short and clear and begin on time at the start of class. Students are encouraged to use PowerPoint. PowerPoint slides must be sent by email to the instructor the NIGHT BEFORE the presentation is to be given. The case presentations should summarize what the case was about, and what you found interesting about the case. Presentations of news stories should also summarize the news story, make clear what you found interesting about the story, and the relation of the news story to the issues we discuss in the class.

Each student will be assigned a date to present and one of the two topics. These will be assigned after the first class so any strong preferences, accompanied by a strong justification for that preference, should be emailed immediately to the instructor.

News Folios

Any student not assigned to give a presentation must collect at least 3 news articles that are relevant to ISM, and turn that collection in at the end of the quarter. These articles may come from any written news media, including newspapers, magazines, internet reports etc. For each news article, you must:

• Write a 200 word paragraph discussing how you think the news article relates to issues discussed in the class.
• Give a citation (and URL if possible) of the article.
• Turn in print outs of all the articles in your folio at the end of the quarter. If the article is in print form only, cut out the article from the newspaper or magazine, and turn that in.
