Final Presentation:
     After completing your paper and turning it in, you will be asked to briefly present its contents to the class sometime during the last two weeks of the semester.  The format of your project can range from creating a website on your topic (or some aspect of it), to simply presenting a very brief (5-7 minute) illustrated lecture using PowerPoint, Portfolio or bringing in actual artworks and objects related to your topic (remember, this is about the visual arts!).  You may think of other, more creative ways to present your material.  I only ask that you give me a Proposal to let me know 1) the topic of your presentation (it may be a very brief summary of your research paper topic, or one portion of it), 2) how you will make your final presentation (illustrated lecture, website demonstration, PowerPoint, etc.), and 3) what audio-visual equipment (if any) you will need.  This proposal must be turned in to me by Wednesday, April 14 so that I may begin scheduling final presentations.   (All presentation material on disk or drive must be tested on the classroom computer prior to the student’s presentation date to ensure that it works properly.)

Grading: 
     Your grade for this assignment will be based on the quality of your paper (80%), your attendance of the Library Research Presentation during class on Monday, March 8 (5%), the inclusion of a complete and properly cited bibliography (5%), and your class presentation (10%).  In terms of quality, I will be looking for a well written paper that reflects a thoughtful and thorough analysis of the subject matter (the art you have chosen to investigate), supported by your outside research.
