EDIT 7650
Applied Project Presentation
Assignment Description
Value: 20 points

created 1-24-08

Purpose of this Assignment
An Oral Exam is required of all graduate candidates of UGA. In our program, Ed.S. candidates present their finished Applied Project to a committee of three faculty members and other visitors. They are prepared to discuss questions that might be posed by members of the committee.

Task

Your entire first draft of the AP is due approximately one month before the presentation. Revise as directed, in preparation for this presentation.

By this point, your Applied Project is finished, awaiting final feedback from the committee. You will leave the meeting with a good idea of what final revisions must be made. Prepare a brief presentation of no more than 15 minutes to describe the highlights of your AP to the committee. Also have available your certification Portfolio. Reflect upon your Ed.S. program as a whole, as it might be relevant to the discussion.

Ed.S. Oral Exams last from 45 minutes to one hour. You may assume that committee members have examined your materials. However, due to the volume of material to be examined, they may not remember every detail.

Guidelines and Advice

It is appropriate to discuss mistakes made and how you might do something differently next time.
Most likely, a projector and computer will be available in the room. Professors will likely have their laptops as well. However, make a backup plan in case of network failure, wireless unavailability, etc.
There is no need to be defensive. It is most professional to receive feedback and/or criticism with the attitude "I want to make this the best possible project it can be."
