You should have received this email, but there is no harm in reminding you: sign your group up for the end of year event! We’ll talk more about your group project presentations today in class.
Seminar Four Final Common Event
(The “Model City Council”)
Dear Sophomores,
The final common even for Seminar 4 will take place on Saturday 5/2/15 and Sunday 5/3/15.
There will be one morning (9:45am-12:00pm) and one afternoon (12:45pm-3:00pm) session on each day. Your group (your entire group) should pick one session that you will all attend and sign up for that one.
This is your very last Macaulay seminar common event! It is of course mandatory and required…but more than that it’s designed to be an experience which will allow you to present and enhance all that you have learned through the semester.
You do need to sign up NOW.
Each group should sign up for one session here (http://macaulay.
You will present in groups. Each group should assign one contact person who will register your group and provide the names of the other participants as well as a working title and an abstract for your presentation. Your group will be presenting on a panel with groups from other classes and campuses. The presentations are 10 minutes plus time for Q&A (presentations cannot go over the 10 minutes, so you will need to practice!).
Please send accurate titles and abstracts–as accurate as you can make them at this stage. These will be used to group presentations by topic, so that you will present alongside other students who have done research on similar topics.
Your ITFs are available to answer questions and work with you on presentations and projects. So please contact them early and often.
If you have any other questions, please contact Maggie Dickinson, Senior Instructional Technology Fellow, at maggie.dickinson@gmail.com.
Thanks and we’ll see you in May!
