Comments on reports and presentations

Well, good morning.

Uh, I think it's smarter for me to, uh, give you some feedback on the reports or

a small clip, uh, film clip instead of taking time from the

seminar.

Uh,

so and then you will have these comments a

day in advance when writing the second reports.

Uh, of this,

of course. Uh,

so, uh, what are the fundament for

migrating of your text? Um,

mainly, it

is based on three dim

four dimensions. Uh, formal structure, use of theory and use of your event case.

Uh, formal

is

sorry

is mainly well, except the use of English. Uh

uh. Written texts are supposed to be slightly better than the spoken one.

Due to the well, most of us speak

BS e bad spoken English.

So, uh, oral, uh,

some mistakes are accepted, but in text, it should be

close to perfect. Um,

and

you are supposed to use a reference system. I shouldn't

need to say this, but you are supposed to have reference system,

and that makes you have a a

marker in the text

of a source. And the source could be an oral source or a written source.

And, uh and we use the

system,

meaning it is a parenthesis in the text.

And then you have full information in the, uh,

in the reference list by the end of the text.

Uh, and then, General, uh, you should always use page numbers. That is P and O,

or it should be, uh, uh, column and O, uh, distinct headings, uh, and

develop it into main headings and subheadings and thereby

it will be easy to follow your arguments.

And to be quite honest, it's easier for you to write a text as well, uh,

and and have it in a good structure, so thereby structure

by these main and subheadings, it's easier to this.

Well, follow the distinct, uh, report. For instance, what is the introduction?

Uh rather good to have it marked. I think most of you have.

And then that you use the different notions of the headlines

if you want to sort of divide it into sort of the boxes, fine,

but could also be sort of by divided by the notions

due to the comment by some of you, uh, on Friday on on, uh,

Thursday that sometimes it isn't distinct.

Uh, how well, where the first box, the internal box start and the, uh, external box,

Uh, stop or vice versa.

Um,

evident reference in which box referred to is

so important. Uh, so what are you talking about?

Are you talking about the internal perspective or the external perspective?

Uh, and then you have some concluding comments on the report, meaning a conclusion,

What I've learned from it because it is the analysis of your case event that matters.

And you draw

knowledge learnings from that analysis into your idea

of a new event of your event proposal.

And that is mainly what is, uh, what's in the final report?

Um,

and then use a theory. Some of you are sort of just

telling about a a new event without sources, without anything and that

will render, as you see in not so high grades. So you're supposed to use theory.

Well, obviously you start with a book. Uh, but articles is a must.

You have to use the articles, my articles or newer ones, Uh,

are as a said in the beginning of the course, I tend to not up updated my articles.

Due to that make you search for articles for yourself,

which you probably have done in previous courses.

I hope otherwise you'll learn it here.

Uh, how to search for further articles to support your claim

and the the fourth dimension use uh, your, uh, event case. Well, that is the course.

You're supposed to analyse a case, uh, and draw out learnings from it.

Uh, and thereby you could come up with a proposal.

You're not supposed to come up with a proposal without any fundament.

Uh, and if you have done it, then well, as you will see in

not so good ratings,

Uh, so in general, General, uh, the grading is Well, make it simple. It's a star.

I've done this for ages and star means structure and formal.

So, for instance, well developed structure with relevant name and subheadings.

Uh,

t is a theory. Use a theory. A is analysis, and R is, uh well, you claim something.

Uh, and I get into this in the following, uh, slide.

So good analysis of your case event, uh, less of your own event creation. That is

analysis. You need to do an analysis of your case

through a thorough use of literature beyond the course book. Yes. Er Yes.

You use the course books. Well, you probably would pass the course, but not more.

You are supposed to read further. I mean, this, uh my little book is Is it?

Yeah.

150 pages, or whatever it is, it's nothing you're supposed to read up to 1000 pages,

Uh, on a 7.5 course.

Uh, and you are claiming things well grounded,

meaning that you have support from theory or from the case from empirical findings.

Um,

so that is the fundament for migrating meaning. The figure I put on, uh, the report.

Uh,

what do you see? The next, uh,

sheets, uh, during the the following, um,

workshop or seminar.

And then the presentations. Well, you there you are pretty good.

And you have received the feedback directly

and the feedback I'll give to you and probably I'll

reduce it due to you Learned quite good about it.

Layouts have a good variation, but, uh, some of you need a word or two,

but not too many words.

Uh,

we are not supposed to read your slides and then start to listen to you.

You The slides are supposed to support your presentation

pictures try to use, uh, as authentic pictures as possible,

hopefully taken by yourself

and avoid as much as possible those generic pictures that you brought from, uh,

or taken from the net

oral, uh, meaning that the tempo and the way you are saying things.

Try to have this relaxed tempo speech.

Don't be stressed out of the changes from the slides.

Sort of Just talk your things and then the slides will, uh, change automatically.

And if you practised before then it runs pretty well.

And as I'm saying, try to minimise the manuscript reading. Tell us your story.

Look at us and tell us your story.

You should know this.

Uh, I mean, you should know the material and the content wise.

Uh uh, Well, you're supposed to have this relevant analysis of your case, uh,

event and then, uh, thereby you present the learnings from,

uh into the proposed event later on,

that could be sort of the the last third or one third of the presentation.

So how to work in the following, uh, reports? Well,

you could only claim

meaning the the things you write report with

support from either findings from the field.

This empirical data.

Uh, and that is your, uh, case event

and the user theory, which is the book and articles.

These are the two sources for you to claim

something. And if you don't have neither of these sources, well, we don't trust you.

We don't believe in you.

So create trustworthy texts. And that is done by

having good support for your claims. And those supports are

empirical findings, findings from the field and use of theory.

OK,

that's it.

And I'll see you tomorrow and try to incorporate these comments on the next report.

The one that you will present tomorrow. Uh, Tuesday.

Thank you for your attention. Bye bye.
