Presentations
You will be responsible for presenting one of the papers we are reading. The presentation is a pair assignment; you will do this with one other student.
You will construct a 20-25 minute presentation on one of the readings in the course. On the day listed for the reading schedule you will present the paper to the class. Your presentation should cover the reading in some detail including:
- What is this paper about?
- What is the motivation for doing this study?
- What is the problem the research is trying to solve? - How does this relate to Wikipedia?
- What aspects of Wikipedia are important to this study? - How was the study/research conducted?
- Have we seen a similar method or approach to research on Wikipedia? - What are the key findings of the paper?
- What does this tell us about collaboration or groups?
- How does this research relate to other papers in the class?
Constructing your presentation will take time. You should allocate time to read the paper, discuss the paper with your partner, develop an outline for the presentation, create slides for the presentation and rehearse so that the presentation goes smoothly. Your presentation should be well conducted and you should be prepared to answer questions. Your presentation is 10% of your course grade.
