The+Pilot+Presentation

==

//This is the PowerPoint I used for most of the pilot study. I am currently training our undergraduate consultants to deliver the presentations in classrooms and in workshops in the writing center. From watching these consultants learn how to deliver the presentation, it has become clear to me that the effectiveness of the presentation requires the presenter to make particular moves to elicit students' responses//. //Initially, students can be quite reticent and resistant. They've heard about plagiarism, so they don't need this. Then, when they realize that they do need this, they can be embarrassed or ashamed.// = = =[|Longer version delivered to 300-level English Class]=

//This presentation was delivered to my 300-level "Theory and Practice of Writing" course. It is longer than the version represented in the PowerPoint file on this page. It includes some rhetorical advice about direct quotation that I have excised to achieve a shorter presentation. A colleague has both had me visit her class and then shown Mediasite video in subsequent semester. We both agree that the video is less effective in promoting the kind of student-centered discussion that needs to take place.//

=[|Presentation delivered to Graduate Students]=

//This presentation was delivered in Summer 2010 to a graduate education class. The microphone used to record students' responses does not seem to function very well, but you can generally glean responses from my paraphrase of them or my reaction to them. For a quick look at the need for this presentation at BU, skip to slide 23.//
