Phase 1:
Let's Impress! How to Present Yourself: Scholars will learn how to best present themselves well during online meetings and courses. The session will increase the awareness of practices that Scholars can present themselves, particularly as they engage in a college class and deliver a presentation as a class assignment. Note that Scholars should watch a 10-minute online video (Get the Most From Virtual Meetings and Look Good, Too!) and think about presentation issues before the session begins.
During this class, Scholars will address the following questions:
- What image do you want to project to your professor? Consider audio, visual and behavioral issues.
- How can you do that? In a student-led group discussion, how would these things be the same, different?
- In a social gathering with other students, how would these things be the same, different?
- What are particular things you should always avoid?
- What are specific things you should consider in presenting yourself - including visual, audio, behavioral, and accessibility issues?
- When giving a presentation to a class, how would these things be the same, different; what other things should you consider?
