MASTER TOPIC: Environmental Economics: Pricing Carbon
Do not submit your original file to Canvas : simply upload your video to YouTube, Vimeo, or any screencasting site, then copy & paste the URL into a document and submit that URL to turntin.com. You may also simply copy and paste the URL directly into the submission folder in Canvas – either way is fine. Canvas also requires any page have a minimum of 20 words, so in addition to your hyperlink just put some basic info like name, topic, class, etc. to make the system happy that you have 20 words.
You will be creating a PowerPoint and video presentation based upon your chosen topic. All presentations must be professional and at the level appropriate for college course.
Your presentation will cover background information and current news/information on the topic. You must scour the peer-reviewed journals and reputable science news/information sources. This is a university level course, make sure that your coverage of the topic is not overly basic. You must try to inform and engage your fellow students about your topic.
Each presentation must be exactly 10 minutes. I will give you a buffer of a minute over or under before I begin deducting points for each minute over or under. Read the grading rubric found at the end of this document carefully to know how to achieve a high score.
You may record your presentation in any creative electronic program and style you wish. Some common screen capture programs include QuickTime http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ (Links to an external site.) And Jing http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html (Links to an external site.) – Get as creative as you want/wish with this project as long as you are keeping professional and appropriate for University.
Also please see https://www.marypoffenroth.com/visual-resources (Links to an external site.) for more recommendations on free software and slidecast websites.
To get started:
Reading Chapters 7, 8 and 9 in Write, Present, Create will help immensely
If you do not have access to the digital equipment necessary to create your presentation (a digital camera or computer with a webcam/microphone), please email me immediately.
At minimum I need to see your presentation slides (PowerPoint or any presentation / slide deck other program is fine) and hear your voice. Whether your face can be seen on camera is up to you. Again, feel free to get as creative as you wish, as long as your presentation is highly professional and at a college level caliber. However, keep in mind that the primary responsibility of your presentation is to relay sound, scientific information about your topic to your audience. The best practices web link from the assignment is http://www.garrreynolds.com/preso-tips/ (Links to an external site.)
Submit a hyperlink to your presentation to Canvas both in the submission folder and in the discussion thread by the duet date listed in your syllabus. You may submit your presentation up to 5 calendar days late at a penalty of 10 points per day.
