Encouraging Oral Presentations
One of my favorite "projects" is in my Pathology class. It always falls around Halloween and I allow my students to choose a pathological condition to do an oral presentation on, but the representation muct be a food item, after which we all get to EAT.... love those sebaceous cysts cream cheese danishes. I don't assign the "condition" or the food item. It is the most popular assignment in the massage program at the college I teach and after taking this course I believe the autonomy of the assignment enhances it's success.
Wow! I think that is a great assignment! We all love to share something we are passionate about, and food is a common attractor. As a Career Services Advisor, I can't stress enough the importance of learning how to speak confidantly in front of groups, to know your material and to feel comfortable with it and be the focus of attention. I really am impressed with the relation to medical terminology and pathology.
