1. Each pair of students is expected to give a 4–6-minute informative presentation with visual aids on the role of
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) in gaining happiness.
The objective of the presentation is to gain people’s awareness of the importance of enhancing EQ to balance their life
and gain happiness.
Students MAY take the following into consideration: (i) The meaning of EQ; (ii) EQ and happiness, (iii) The ways to
enhance EQ.
2. Students should be creative with the presentation rather than just searching for the information and copying/pasting.
3. Presentations should be well organized and include a good introduction, main body, transitions, and a conclusion
that summarizes the main points.
4. Text should be limited on PowerPoint, with exceptions including the title of the presentation, keynotes and
technical words, data and titles on graphs, tables, charts, and references.
5. A list of 3-5 references is required to prove the validity of the information, including references to the book and
readers’ feedback. Google or Wikipedia are commonly considered NOT reliable sources.
6. Examiners need to keep track of the time for students’ presentations and deduct points if the presentations are
too short or too long. If they run over 6 minutes, examiners must signal the students to stop.
7. Examiners need to take into consideration not only the presentation skills and English fluency of the presenters but also
the appropriateness of their presentations. Students should use language appropriate to foreigners and should not use
visual images unrelated to their topic or inappropriate to the audience.
Note:
▪ Q & A section is NOT required for the mid-term exam.
▪ Feedback MUST be provided at the end of the presentations.
