There is neither a specific expected nor minimum amount of time for preparation. At least 3 weeks before your presentations are due you will have all the information needed to prepare. If you would like more time, please inform your coordinator. Although, there is no minimum amount you spend preparing, keep in mind this is not a d'var Torah at you seuda or a Sheva Brachos, it is assumed you will be spending hours of time preparing this.
Your presentation will be reviewed by everyone in our Chabura. Additionally, each presenter will pick an outside reviewer that will be seeing/hearing the presentation along with the rest of the Chabura. This reviewer is NOT to see the presentation before, he should be seeing it along with the rest of the audience when it goes "live".
Preferably, the reviewer should be someone whose presence as an audience member will foster a sense of accountability.
There is no specific response that will come forth. It is the hope of Toraso that your presentation will elicit discussion and that members will be asking, adding, arguing, about your presentation. Ideally that discussion will take place on the discussion board, but of course any form of discussing the topic with the presenter is encouraged.
YES. There is a strong expectation that every member takes the time to review the presentations. (Please set aside time to do this, not when you are on the treadmill, elliptical, etc.).
You are not required to make comments every time but we would like people to be engaged enough that they want to, and are motivated to, share any substantial comments they have.
