AMERICAN BAPTIST COLLEGE
Thesis Research and Writing II
Logistics Considered
I. Opening Comments
By now students are to have secured a date, time, and place for their presentation. While it would be best for the presentation to happen within the time frame of the class, it is understood that it is possible that schedules might require otherwise. It is imperative for each student to arrange with the instructor if the event has to be done after the scheduled end for the class. This is so that arrangements can be made with the Registrar's office for an extension on due dates for grades.
II. Event Planning: It's more than just "Showing Up"
Each event has different requirements. Many presenters assume that everything will go well just because of their special gifts or talents. While this might work for Peter Pan in Neverland, the average human must cross "t's" and dot "i's.
III. Assigments
A. With this in mind view the following website to gain understanding in the mental preperation for good event planning. http://www.librarysupport.net/librarylovers/eventips.html While this site is focused on libraries, the concepts presented are transferable.
B. This next site is an excellent detailed background for students needing to plan an event. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pointe/9385/events.html This site is based on young women in the Scouting movement. Though the student is most probably going to be presenting in a church setting, do not allow that to stand in the way of learning. Please note, there are two links on the page which sound like they might be helpful, but don't waste your time. One of them is dead and the other is more detailed planning tips for Scouting events.
C. The University of Kentucky has an very professional site, formated in pdf, that gives a multifaceted approach to event planning. http://www.uky.edu/StudentActivities/Leadership/pdf/Event%20Planning.pdf One of the best features of this site is the discussion on "backward planning." Check it out!
D. Read through all sites and then post a three paragraph assessment on the class website.
