This project involves students in all aspects of planning and hosting PechaKucha Night (PKN) events, e.g., recruiting speakers, preparing promotional materials, attracting audience members, managing social media platforms, event day logistics and event follow-up. This project should be of interest to students interested in event planning, multimedia presentations and networking. Students will also prepare and record their own PKN presentations and will learn specific content knowledge related to their area of interest while polishing their spoken English skills. Design theory will also be explored as related to promotional flyers/posters and slideshows.

This project will introduce students to the topic of oral histories (OH) and involve them in designing and conducting their own oral history projects. The course will start with an exploration of what oral histories are and move on to looking at various examples. Eventually, students will identify a theme they would like to focus on, and then design their project. They will collect oral histories on digital recorders and transcribe major portions of their interviews. Finally, they will write up and present a report of their findings.
