Deliverable: 3-4 min persuasive, business-related presentation

The deliverable of this assignment is a 3-4 min presentation on your selected topic. You can freely choose the topic for your presentation, as long as it is persuasive, business-related and appropriate for the context.

In the presentation, do NOT use any PowerPoint slides, Prezi-visuals or the like. In essence, we want to see just you and your story. You are warmly encouraged, however, to use other visual support materials (e.g. product demo if you are selling a product).

There is no need to submit anything to this submission box before class.

You will give your presentations in turns in small groups. The others in the small group act as the audience, and also write down feedback during the presentation. For each presenter, this feedback should cover both strong points and points to consider.

After each presentation, spend about 5 minutes giving oral feedback to the presenter and discuss the feedback together. Talk about both the good points of the presentation and the points to consider. It is important that the presenter gets comprehensive feedback in order to know what their strong points and key development areas are.

You will also receive a grade (0-5) for the presentation based on the audience's and your own assessment. The evalution criteria will be discussed at the beginning of the class session.

After discussing the feedback, spend an additional 3 minutes per person to discuss what grade you would give for the presentation and why, and to fill in an evaluation form for that person together. The evaluation forms will be handed out at the beginning of the class session, and they will be returned to Christa at the end of the class session.
