As noted in the syllabus, audio-visual aids are encouraged for your individual and group presentations. You need to carefully prepare your audio-visuals and have them set-up and ready to go before the start of class.

All classes can use one or more of the following audiovisual options:

• Chalk board
• Posters
• Flip charts
• Overhead projector (you must supply the transparencies and can get assistance in copying them in the secretary's office from 9-1 weekdays)
• TV/VCR (must sign up to reserve equipment in the secretary's office)
• Props (e.g. product examples, taste test, etc.)

Morning classes may not use the computer projection system because there is not enough time between classes for inexperienced presenters to have the equipment set-up and running properly before class.

Afternoon classes may use the computer projection system under the following conditions:

• You must have completed 299 and had Power Point instruction.
• If you are not experienced in using this equipment, you should practice set-up and operation. If you need assistance, see me, a computer lab assistant or a student technology assistant - do not bother other professors for help.
• Come to class at least 15 minutes early to set up the equipment and have a trial run.
• If you are having technical problems, see me in my office at least 10 minutes before class to trouble-shoot.

There is no grade advantage in using the computer projector; in fact, if you struggle with the equipment, it will detract from your grade.

The keys to audio-visual success are creativity, effort, and preparation.
