    Expert to Novice Informative Presentation

    Presentation: 100 points


    Presentation Dates: March 10, March 12, March 14, and March 24
    Assignment vervie!:
    In todays information age and global society, we often are faced with presenting difficult or challenging
    information to an audience who may have little experience with the ideas we want to convey. In situations
    like these, presenting complex information in a coherent manner is paramount. In this assignment, you
    will choose a topic related to your field or an area of science interest and explain the topic to both your
    audience and your reader. For example, if my major was actuarial science, I might decide to talk about the
    process of determining insurance benefits for a person. I could go into calculating life expectancies and
    how life expectancy affects insurance rates, etc. Or, if I was a marine biology major I could talk about the
    oil spill in the gulf, and discuss the mechanics behind the leak i.e., how did this happen!", why it took so
    long to fix the problem, and how technology and science led to a solution. #our specific challenges for
    this assignment include further incorporating your skills of audience analysis and good delivery into an
    engaging presentation that follows a specific pattern of organi$ation and uses specific types of
    informative techni%ues e.g., explanations, examples, varieties of supporting evidence" to teach your
    audience about your topic.
    The idea is not to persuade the audience; rather, this is your chance to discuss a technical topic of
    interest to you with a novice audience. Just think of a technical topic within your field that interests you
    and explain it to a lay audience.
    &his assignment re%uires excellent audience analysis in order to provide information at a level the
    audience can process, understand, and enjoy. #our topic should be interesting, current, and relevant to
    your audience. &o clarify, this assignment includes two significant parts' an annotated bibliography and
    an oral presentation. &he re%uirements for each of these are broken down below.
