For your presentations next week, you will be allowed to present on homelessness, hunger, or inequality. You will have to choose a specific significant table to be the core of your presentation. This is to ensure there is not overlap in who covers what. That means you may or may not be able to choose your favorite table to discuss for the presentation.
Adjusted portion in italics
Please practice your presentation so you know you will be done in 5 minutes. There is no penalty if you are done in 3 minutes or more. If you are done in less than 3 minutes, your grade will be penalized by 20%. If you are done in less than 2 minutes, your grade will be penalized by 40%. You will not earn credit for a presentation less than 1 minutes in length. You will not be allowed to go over your 5 minute time.
If you need to supplement talk about the table, you may talk about any quotes from this group (get quotes from Nvivo), or you may talk about your positive experience with the project.
If you are done in less than 3 minutes but you have done well, I may ask that you stay at the podium and answer a question from me or the audience.
I will project the tables on the a/v screen during your presentation.
If you are not available for your chosen 5 minute presentation time (or if you neglect to choose a time by Friday 14th 10pm), then you will not be allowed to present and you will earn a zero.
I will post a sign up sheet today, where you choose a 5 minute spot, and a specific topic. Your presentation should be the same material as you wrote for the paper -- meaning you interpret the significant table by discussing the chi square statistic, residuals, percentages, summary, and a guess about why you found what you found. Make sure to clearly and slowly read the question so everyone knows what question you are discussing. Focus your presentation on summarizing the main finding, the percentages as evidence to support the finding, and why you found what you found. It is acceptable to read your presentation if that makes you more comfortable. You just need to convey information and be audible. This is not a public speaking class, so I don't critique your style. If you need to produce a new table for the presentation that you didn't already submit for your quantitative paper, you can submit the new table with the next draft of your quantitative paper, and it will be added as extra credit (you can add it as an appendix if it doesn't fit your paper).
For the free speech area event, you must complete the signup sheet by Wed 12th 10pm (see below for Doodle polls). I will provide copies of some materials to share, and you should be prepared to conduct interviews with people that stop by the table (bring your phone). There will be a sign-in sheet at the table, to document your attendance for the time you chose. Also, I will be observing the tabling throughout the day.
When conducting an interview with a passerby, use your icati number, and include a short permission statement
"do I have your permission to record and share this anonymous interview,"
and post the recording link to the blogsite (Subject: Free Speech Interview).
Sample homeless questions:
"Have you had any interaction with the homeless?" empathy -- How does that make you feel? Probe -- why do you think you feel that way about your interaction with the homeless?
"We would like to hear your beliefs regarding homelessness, such as its prevalence, cause and solution. Please speak freely"
You may ask these open ended question on hunger:
Have you ever had to rely on food stamps, cheap food, or not eating enough because there wasn't enough money to eat a balanced diet?"
"What does hunger look like in the U.S. today?" "Why are some people more likely to be hungry?" "What should be done to alleviate problems with hunger?"
You may paraphrase these questions and you make up your own follow up questions. Remember to validate, show empathy, and probe for more detail. This is not a chance to conduct surveys -- it is a chance to practice unstructured qualitative interviewing.
If you fully attend your 1 hour tabling time but conduct zero interviews, you will earn a 80% for the tabling. If you conduct one interview, you will earn a 90%. If you conduct two interviews, you will earn a 100%. If you conduct three interviews, you will earn 110%. If you conduct four interviews, you will earn 120%. If you conduct five or more interviews you will earn 130%.
Interviews must be with unique people who haven't been interviewed yet by someone in the Free Speech area (when asked to conduct a short interview, people will say "I've already done an interview," and you will say "OK, thanks" and find another person), recorded with your icati number, recording link posted to the blogsite, recording includes interviewee answering yes to permission statement, and at least 1 full minute of the interviewee speaking about homelessness, hunger, or a closely related topic (Such as poverty or inequality). If you conduct a longer interview that includes the interviewee speaking 5 or more minutes on topic, then that will count double -- as two interviews. When you post a long interview, you should change the subject line of the email to: "Long Free Speech Interview."
