Presentation Tips

STUDY TIPS

so it was really warm at 5:00 and some of the students jokingly said "let's have class outside", I responded "yes", which may have caught them off guard, but i thought it would be OK so we did - just to prove you don't need fancy technology to get the message across ... it turned out OK, and actually i noticed that we had the highest percentage (compared to previous classes) of everybody participating with useful comments, - which is always a good thing
... to C46ers, Thanks, i really enjoyed teaching you this term..WTGR
- and thanks to Nisha for the notebook and thanks to Christine for the pic

Class participation marks
(C46 students can use this same video in Apr 2011)

In the final class I will ask, "did you learn something useful and interesting.... in the whole course"
- so you can make such comments through YouTube by commenting in response to this video i made the last class
- you can also comment, on other student's comments
- make sure in the comment you identify your first name, last initial (do NOT put your real last name on YouTube) and add MGTC46

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCxYyI_iWj0

Class participation marks are available to be earned up to April 6th 2011

In the last few weeks, i might not have the time to give a long reply to each email (because so many people are emailing), so if you just get a quick "ok", or "thanks", understand that i got it, read it, and will give you marks for what you sent

Read the newspaper on a regular basis
