    Study Notes

    Academic Work at IU: Oral Project Reports

    • Upon completing this unit, students will have learned how to structure a successful oral project report, the importance of using graphics, principles of a visually appealing report, and the evaluation criteria for judging the success of an oral project report.

    Case Study: Simon's Experience with Oral Project Reports

    • Simon's challenges in presenting his project to a large audience were addressed by following a clear structure throughout his projects and using visual representations to support his presentations.
    • He created photo logs to use during his oral project reports and started his presentations with an interactive introduction to grab the audience's attention and reduce his nerves.

    Oral Project Reports at IU: Objectives and Procedures

    • The oral presentation of an independently designed, implemented, and documented project is at the center of an oral project report.
    • A successful presentation demonstrates the transfer of theoretical knowledge into practice within a specific project.
    • Students must identify a topic, plan the project, implement and document it, and then structure the presentation to familiarize the audience with the process and results.

    Structure of an Oral Project Report

    • The structure of a presentation is determined by the project's phases, but all presentations have the same basic components:
      • Title slide
      • Outline
      • Introduction
      • Body
      • Conclusion
      • List of figures/tables (if necessary)
      • Bibliography
    • The introduction should arouse attention and interest, and the body should describe the project's implementation and results.

    Supporting Visuals

    • Visuals should illustrate the project's process and results, and should complement and support the verbal content.
    • Four principles should be considered when creating each slide:
      • Visuals help foster understanding, but are not an end in themselves.
      • Messages should be used instead of headlines.
      • A verbal description should be given before an image is shown.
      • PowerPoint slides should be easily readable and not overloaded with information.

    Rhetoric and Appearance

    • Verbal and non-verbal communication, including the speaker's posture, convey an impression of credibility.
    • Four points are particularly important for being perceived as convincing:
      • Voice
      • Pronunciation (articulation)
      • Emphasis (accentuation)
      • Breathing
    • Non-verbal signals that contribute to a successful presentation include:
      • Posture and appearance
      • Gestures
      • Facial expressions
      • Eye contact

    Formal Requirements and Evaluation Criteria

    • Oral project reports are recorded using the Bongo tool and last 15 minutes.
    • A PowerPoint presentation must be converted into a PDF file before uploading to the Bongo tool.
    • The presentation should be complete, follow a clear structure, and abide by the given time limit.
    • Evaluation criteria include:
      • Definition of the task, structure, and implementation of the project process (35%)
      • Originality of the approach taken to the solution (20%)
      • Quality of the solution(s) (15%)
      • Rhetorical features and supporting visuals used (30%)
