Preparing for Formal Presentation

Behavioral Science Capstone students will be given the opportunity to schedule group practices and request the technical assistance of the LIS educational technologist as well as the guidance of some members of the Humanities staff. These practices are under the stewardship of the group. These practices have been very beneficial to previous Capstone presenters and are highly recommended.

Capstone students will be able to practice their presentation, become familiar with the technology including the clicker and microphone, and  have their presentations reviewed by their fellow capstone presenters.

A videographer will be assigned to videorecord the capstone final presentations. The Behavioral Science department requests all capstone presenters participate by submitting the waiver form on the day of the presentations.
