Unclear or ambiguous instructions and questions

Ambiguous instructions/rubric for SRM3 Task 3 about whether text-based PowerPoint speaker notes are acceptable versus requiring a synchronized audio/video recording; examples mentioning built-in recording features create confusion and lack how-to guidance.

  • "For the SRM3 version, Task 3 it states 'Include your speaker’s notes on each slide or submit them in a recorded oral presentation. *Note: You may use built-in recording features in your presentation software (e.g., PowerPoint, Keynote) or external non-cloud-based recording software to capture both your voice and the presentation slides in sync.' ... When I am looking at the speaker's notes feature in PowerPoint, it's just text boxes that only I can see...there is no option for me to use my mic and record my voice to read those speaker's notes...Is just the text-based speaker's notes required and not a recording of my voice? ... other students recording themselves while talking and presenting the slideshow, so that's why I'm overthinking if I really just need to put the text-based speaker's notes and only that."

Am I overthinking this? Is just the text-based speaker's notes required and not a recording of my voice?

  • There were no mentions of it being an invalid file type. ... It got sent back again, saying it wasn’t a valid file type.

Excessive course scope or redundant remediation

Assessment design forces multiple recorded presentation tasks with no alternative formats, creating excessive time burden and student discomfort.

  • [I hate recording myself while presenting. ... 3 tasks ... It’s much more time consuming even tho it ain’t seem like it.]
