V. Asking and responding to questions (see handout); determining question types

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Homework for the next class: 

1. Prepare a  presentation for the next class on a topic related to your research--it can be a revised version of this week's "body" talk or something new. It should be 5-8 minutes and include a PPT or other visual support, keeping in mind the role of visuals. Be sure to use at least one question and practice formulas for answering questions from the audience..

2. Revise your introduction according to the feedback you received and send it to me for review prior to our next meeting. We will try to review that and the video--if you have more, we can try to set up an additional or longer meeting.
