Art 3201: Holography I
Student Reports
You are
required to give a presentation on a topic, artist or
scientist somehow connected to the study of Holography. This
presentation should be approximately 25-30 minutes long with a
10-15 minute discussion of the topic following the presentation.
Aside from the presentation you are responsible for leading the
discussion. The TA will be present only to add to the discussion.
On the weeks that you do not present you should plan to be an
active participant in the discussion. Participation is a significant
portion of your grade.
1. Select a Report
topic, holographer or scientist from the topics list.
If you have interest in a topic not on the list you should
discuss the topic with the instructor or TA to get their
approval. You may use references from the videos shown in class,
lectures, slides, other classes, world wide web, and holography
books. If you are doing a presentation on an artist limit the
biographical information to 1-2 minutes; focus on the ideas and
concepts in the work - spend your time discussing a small number
of well-chosen images to illustrate the ideas and concepts. If
you are presenting a technique be sure to show examples of how
the technique is used in art or science.
2. Discuss the
topic with one of the instructors.
Discuss the appropriateness of the topic and sources of
information you have chosen. Although the web is a wonderful
resource the material you find there may not be correct.
3. Research the
topic.
You may fine the Fine Arts Library (in Mershon/Wexner Center),
Main Library and Physical Sciences Library useful. For fine
artists in the Fine Arts Library you should use the Art Index
to Periodicals to find articles. The Librarians are there to
assist you if you have any trouble.
4. Copy the material
you wish the class to receive.
A few days in advance give copies of the report material to
the TA who will distribute them to the class. This reading
material will help the class understand your topic and
facilitate class discussion.
5. Give your
Report.
Your presentation (report + questions + discussion) should last
about 30-40 min. Make your report as interesting, informative,
unique, and innovative as you can. You may wish to have something
in your hand or a transparency to remind you of the main subjects
about which you wish to talk. Speak slowly and clearly,
as you would to a group of creative and intelligent people who
know less about the subject than you do. The measure of your
success will not be how much you have said, but how much
your audience has understood, remembers, and finds
interesting. If you choose to present on stereograms, hand-drawn
holograms or optical illusions you must demonstrate the
technique in class.
6. Turn in a
one page Outline or Summary of your report
on the Monday before you present.
7. Your presentation
will be graded on the following:
-Content (breadth and depth)
-Organization
-Outline or Summary
-Discussion of the ideas
-Interest to audience
-Demeanor, clarity of expression
It is the
responsibility of the student to schedule his or her
presentation.
IT IS VERY
IMPORTANT THAT YOU APPEAR ON THE SCHEDULED DATE OF YOUR
PRESENTATION. THERE WILL BE NO OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE UP A MISSED
PRESENTATION.
