SEMINAR PRESENTATION

Guidance Note

1. A seminar topic presentation is a short informal talk giving the results of your researches into a seminar topic on the course. You are sharing your ideas or discoveries in a way that gives seminar participants an opportunity for discussion. These presentations form a normal part of the teaching and learning process in postgraduate studies.

2. Don't think of the seminar presentation as a test. You will not normally be judged on your performance. The person who will learn most from this exercise is you. The act of investigating sources, digesting information, and summarizing other people's work will help to clarify these matters in your mind.

3. You will also develop your confidence in handling information, making useful notes, and presenting an argument.

4. Seminar Topics can be chosen according to your own particular interests. If you are in any doubt, check with your tutor. They might be:

• a 'reading' of a set text from the course, applying one critical theory

• an account of one critical theory and how it can be applied to a couple of set texts

• a response to one of the tutorial seminar topics from the course materials

• an account of the publishing history or the critical reception of one of the set texts

5. A seminar presentation should not try to imitate an essay about seminar topic. It is better to offer a presentation on something smaller and more specific, rather than the type of general question posed in a coursework essay.

6. Don't write down the seminar presentation verbatim. Make outline notes, then speak to these notes using the set text, any critical theory, and your own extended notes as backup material.

7. If you have the resources, it is a nice courtesy to provide other members of the group with a copy of your outline notes.

8. Overhead projection facilities will often be available if you wish to show transparencies. Otherwise, photocopies of any illustrative material will be perfectly acceptable.
