Learning Page, Oral Presentations section for tips.

Your grade is derived from the Oral
Evaluation Guide so please familiarise yourself with it. Your
grade will suffer if you don't use it and pay attention to it.
-
If you're going to read your entire presentation from the textbook, forget
it. I can read the book myself and so can the class.
-
If you're not prepared, be ready for an "F".
