Assessment Review
 It’s not just about your observation
 Use sociology as a way of explaining those issues
 Provide hand outs that summarise the key points you are making
 Have you looked at the right kind of reading? Are they based on everyday life
sociology?


Marking Criteria
 We are looking at whether you are being imaginative
 Demonstrating understanding of those sociological ideas
 How have you interviewed people
 Take a qualitative approach
 Avoid surveys
 How you have organised these thoughts and ideas
 Can your voice be heard clearly?
 Did you leave questions for the audience afterwards?


Sevens Stages to an Effective Presentation

2. What are the key points you are going to cover?

3. 10 minutes maximum for the main points. Be selective about the issues you talk
about.

4. What sociology are you going to use to support this?

5. Make links between the key points

6. Conclusion

, 7. Keep reviewing it – check for spelling errors, make sure the pictures and links
work ok.


Outline of Presentation
Introduction
 Introduce everyone in the group
 Say what you are setting out to do here
 Provide an email address or WhatsApp group to invite responses and feedback
from the audience.

Body
 Take the funnel approach
 Don’t rush it
 Visual aids – video or a photograph

Conclusion
 You should never introduce new materials in the conclusion
 Provide a recap
 Thank the audience
 Provide them with a means of feeding back to you
 Provide audience with hand outs


Structure (skills)
 Each points leads naturally onto the next point
 Keep asking yourself what the key points are that you are trying to get across to
the audience.
 Clarity – how are you going to be clear to the audience? Diagrams are a good
way.
 Link between social theory and practice – relevant data, sample, citation to
capture what you are trying to say.
 Don’t go into too much micro detail
 Provide an overview of what you have managed to achieve in your presentation
 It’s about persuading the audience that you know what you are talking about
 You are to produce a convincing argument


Structure (timing)
 Be mindful that videos can take up a lot of time!
 Timing can go wrong when you try to incorporate too much!
 Consider how much the audience can take in
 Practice is key!
 Think what isn’t necessary
