 UPDATE

 2018   March   28th.

WTGR (Prof. Tim Richardson) taught this course at UofT Mississauga Sept 2011 - May 2017
Richardson retired from  UTM in Nov. 2017.

Since a number of students (such as Tala Alkhaldi) have kindly commented that this web page is helpful for students taking the course presently..ie. 2018, I have left this material on my server for your usefulness. While the page http://www.witiger.com/universityoftoronto/CCT224.htm itself might not be updated you will find that the unit topics and the links are regularly updated since I teach many of these topics in other courses,
eg.
Types of Competition or Mission Statements or Motivation

comments on the presentations
In reviewing the presentations for Assignment 3 in Nov 2012, I was not satisfied that what was presently actually represented the material the groups had on hand to present, and it did not represent what they could have done if they had more time.
But, the parameters where the same for most groups so it is fair..... however, to address the situation of "un-said words", or material not shown, I am allocating an additional 5 marks for you to provide material to me, or a URL link to me on Friday, for consideration.
Your presentation mark will be out of "/10" for what you did already, and this additional material will be marked out of "/5". That said, I am expecting that when this is finished, most of you will have earned a B or B plus or A minus on the presentation, and higher marks for the "left over" material.
LESSON - if you get a chance to make an important presentation in "real life", don't leave anything behind in the locker room,
(you may not get another chance like I am giving you)
leave it all on the field and judge your timing critically. If you need help understanding this metaphor, ask an athlete, or ask me in class Friday.

UTM student Rayn in CCT224 is an accomplished majician and the GOPST of his group involved 3 parts. Part 1 was showing the prof a trick in class. Part 2 was having that trick taught to someone else in the group who had no majic background. The clip above shows Rayn teaching his "student" Part 3 was when that person took the newly learned majic skill and was able to do it with the prof.
