Description
Research Design and Methods – Assessment 1 - Verbal
Presentation
The first part of your assessment for this
module entails you producing a short presentation about your selected research
project. The purpose of this resit assessment is demonstrate that you have a
clear understanding of the purpose and associated design of your proposed
project and that you can articulate this verbally.
You will not be required to make this
presentation in person. Instead, you are asked to produce a recording of your
presentation that you will then upload to Moodle by the due date. (In this way,
you will be able to practice your presentation until you are happy with it and
will not have the worry of speaking in front of others, and we will be able to
rerun your presentation as we mark it.)
The presentation must be no more than 5
minutes in duration. We advise that you download and use one of the
available free software packages such as Screencast-O-Matic, (https://screencast-o-matic.en.softonic.com/)
to record your presentation. YouTube has videos to help you use this software
(e.g. https://www.youtube.com/user/screencastomatic).
Your presentation should be saved as a .mp4
file and submitted through Turnitin on the module’s Moodle page. Ideally, you
will use powerpoint slides which you will ‘talk to’. Please do NOT merely read the content of your slides. Before
submitting your presentation, please check that the sound is clear.
A detailed explanation of the requirements
for the first part of the Research Design and Methods assessment is given in a series
of slides reproduced below. The slides explain the sections of the presentation
by reference to a fictional project.
It would be a good idea if your
presentation followed the headings shown in the marking scheme (to help you
structure your presentation and to help us follow your arguments).
