By all means, do NOT read to us. No matter how brilliant or well written your paper is, you will not receive an A on the assignment if you read your paper. If you want to make a PowerPoint presentation and don't know how, you can learn what you need to know in about an hour with the PowerPoint tutorial. This software is available on many computers in labs across the campus. Do plan to use some visual aids.
Transparencies work well in the studio classroom so long as large type is used.
I will be happy to help you with presentation materials so long as you bring the material to me well in advance. This does NOT mean that you wait until then to start reading and preparing for your report. You should have quite a lot read on your topic by this time. Obviously, they will have less time to prepare. Within two weeks after your seminar presentation, you should post a written report to your web site and send e-mail to the class distribution list or post a note to NetForum to let us know that the material is ready and give us the URL for your page.
