AMERICAN BAPTIST COLLEGE
Thesis Research and Writing II
Final Edition

I. Opening Comments
By the time you get to this lesson you have already completed your presentation. It is my hope that it went well and that the learners as well as the speaker were well satisfied. I'm sure you had a great time.

II. Assignment
Send in the tape of your presentation, along with your hand outs. The more the material you can provide the better I can evaluate your work. Also, make sure it is nicely packaged. A dime store cover communicates lack of interest on the student's part. To be sure it doesn't have to be bound in leather, but make it nice.

III. Final Comments
I would like for you to post comments about the class as a whole, with particualar attention paid to the online experience. These comments will help American Baptist College evaluate this venue for futher educational endeavors.

Thank you.

Outline Final Draft

I. Opening Comments
The countdown has started and you are cleared for takeoff. All that is left is for you to file your flight plan with the air traffic controllers. Make sure that you know exactly where you intend to fly and that those who are going to handle your logistics have a clear understanding of your route.

II. Information Review
By this time the student has created an outline and has edited it formally. Before stepping to the lecture, one needs to polish the work at least one more time. Of course even the best speakers improvise during the course of lesson or sermon, but one has to have a good plan with which to start!

III. Assignment
Submit the polished outline to the instructor via e-mail. Also, comment on this posting on the website.

Making Final Preparations

I. Opening Comments
This is the final week of the class. By now a place and time should be set for the persentation. It is important to make sure that every "i" is dotted and every "t" crossed.

II. Information Review
Three lessons have been devoted to making sure this last week won't be a panic rush. Take time and review the information covered in those lessons so that nothing will catch the student by surprise.

III. Assignment
Post the information about the presentation. Make sure and include A) date, B) time, C) place, D) publicity method used, E) number of attendees expected, F) name of videographer, G) list of any equipment that will be used, H) whether or not refreshments will be served and if so who is responsible for that, I) method of registering participants, and J) method of feedback from those in attendance. Note: It will be fine to copy and paste the list given into a document. Make sure to follow good rules of grammer with responses, however. Attention to detail is important!
