Group presentations

Ask students to form groups at the beginning of the course and have them present for 30 minutes (including question time) on an aspect of leadership and self-development from the topic schedule. The presentation topics and schedule will have been negotiated at the beginning of the semester. Presentations develop interpersonal and team skills as well as information gathering and oral communication skills. All part of the Griffith Graduate profile, these are essential leadership skills.  Groups will be given some class time and support to identify and develop both the content and the team processes for a successful output. Marking schedules will be distributed and discussed in an early class so that there is shared understanding of expectations and standards. All students are expected to participate in the assessment of presentations.
