SECTION Questions - 5
Dr Thomas
…Ok, I’d like to take a moment now to talk about the assessment requirements for this semester Firstly as you can clearly see, on your handout, there are assessments this semester – an oral report, an essay and two exams They are weighted 20% each for the oral report and the essay and the remaining 60% as you can see is divided equally between the two exams Yes, John
Student (Man)
Yes, Dr Thomas, regarding the oral report, can we present this with a partner or must they be handled individually?
(13)or This year, we’ve decided to try them singly and see how they go We’re certainly not locked into any one way…all we ask is that you use PowerPoint for your presentations The university has all the equipment you will need to deliver the presentation, further details can be found at the Library… Yes, young lady at the back…
Student (woman)
I noticed that there is no word limit given on the essay Can you give us some more details about that?
Dr Thomas Actually, the limit is listed…it just happens to be on the next page…a technical problem with the printing! Now you’ll be pleased to hear that we’ve reduced the word count on the essay from last year Before it was 2000 now it’s fifteen hundred…so that gives you some more time for your oral report, right!
Student Can you give us any indication of the topics that will be available… Dr T Ahh, not at the moment
Student None at all? I’d like to make an early start on it if I can
