Planning Your Presentation
Preparing a presentation can be an overwhelming experience if you allow it to be one. The
strategies and steps below are provided to help you break down what you might view as a large
job into smaller, more manageable tasks.
Step 1: Analyze your audience
The first step in preparing a presentation is to learn more about the audience to whom you'll be
speaking. It's a good idea to obtain some information on the backgrounds, values, and interests of
your audience so that you understand what the audience members might expect from your
presentation.
Step 2: Select a topic
Next, if possible select a topic that is of interest to the audience and to you. It will be much easier
to deliver a presentation that the audience finds relevant, and more enjoyable to research a topic
that is of interest to you.
The document provides guidelines for students to follow when creating and delivering a presentation. It covers content, organization, speaking skills, visual aids, and group presentations.

Capturing the Friedmans is a 2003 documentary film that explores a high-profile case of alleged child molestation within the Friedman family and questions whether they were guilty or not. The film uses techniques common to both documentary and fiction genres to tell the story, including home movie footage and editing to juxtapose images and create meaning. While the use of home footage aims to create authenticity, it can also be seen as 'performances' by the family who knew they were being filmed, calling into question how much documentaries really capture reality. The film raises several ethical dilemmas around presenting an argument versus remaining neutral.

This document provides discussion questions for a study group about the film Tout Va Bien by Jean-Luc Godard. It asks the study group to explore how Tout Va Bien both employs and subverts conventions of mainstream cinema. It also questions how politically radical Godard's technique of foregrounding the apparatus is, whether he risks losing mass audiences, and if counter-cinema implies an elitist view of popular film audiences.
The document discusses the concept of transnational cinema and challenges the idea of defining cinema based solely on national boundaries. It examines issues with identifying a national cinema, such as the global influence of Hollywood, and analyzes how Chinese cinema has responded to Hollywood's dominance through films like Hero that use spectacle and adopt Hollywood conventions while also promoting Chinese ideology. The document argues globalization is a complex process that allows for diverse influences between national cinemas.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Seminar Presentation Guidelines
1. Seminar Presentations
Length: 10-15 mins
The purposes of this exercise are:
1. To draw your audience’s attention to key debates evident in the week’s key
reading.
2. To explore these debates through your application of them to the week’s viewing
as listed in the course handbook (or further viewing, in consultation with your tutor).
3. To initiate a seminar discussion based on the week's set topic.
- In other words, do not simply regurgitate your reading, offering lengthy summaries
of others’ arguments. Rather, you will need to be selective, honing in on the key
points evident in the readings; to evaluate and critique the reading you have done;
to illustrate and apply the critical arguments proposed, through your own use of
DVD/video clips; and to initiate further debate (you may use clips here too).
- Your presentation will be performed in groups of 2-3 and should be planned and
delivered as a team. Avoid unnecessary overlap or contributions which don’t
connect together clearly.
- The preparation of this presentation MUST be collaborative. Your group should
meet prior to the presentation to discuss the research, content and delivery of the
presentation.
- If one or more members of your group continually fail to turn up to presentation
meetings, or fail to complete their fair share of work you should discuss this with your
tutor before the day of the presentation.
- The presentation should be planned to last between 10 and 15 minutes. Be sure
to time it in advance, so that you don't fall short or over-run.
- You will need to end your presentation with carefully constructed questions
designed to instigate discussion among the group. Such questions should be clearly
connected to key points within your presentation and should not be simply tagged on
as an afterthought.
- Make your presentation audience-friendly by making eye contact and speaking
from brief notes or bullet points, rather than reading out a closely written text.
The key is to involve your audience and not just talk at them, but encourage them to
work with you in the application, evaluation and critique of relevant readings.
- Try to make sure you have DVD/video clips already cued up and ready to go
before you begin your presentation, and that any technology (e.g. PowerPoint) is set
up and functioning correctly.
- Finally, try to enjoy it. If you find something interesting then hopefully your audience
will too.
