Presentations & Oral Defense

Three teacher-scored components together carry roughly 23.5% of the AP Seminar score. Per AP Digital Portfolio policy, do not host these recordings on YouTube. Final presentation files are uploaded to digitalportfolio.collegeboard.org. Embeds below will populate as Ian records each component.

Performance Task 1

Team Multimedia Presentation & Defense (TMP)

8–10 minutes + defense questions · 10% of AP Seminar score · 50% of PT1 (20%) · Teacher scored

Ian's three-person team presents their proposed resolution to educational inequity, integrating policy, funding, and technology lenses. Recording captured live in the VR School auditorium; defense questions delivered immediately after the presentation closes.

Not yet recorded · Spring 2026 — to be scheduled by AP Capstone teacher

Performance Task 2

Individual Multimedia Presentation (IMP)

6–8 minutes · 7% of AP Seminar score · 20% of PT2 (35%) · Teacher scored

≈3–4 minutes total response · 3.5% of AP Seminar score · 10% of PT2 (35%) · Teacher scored

Two unseen questions from the AP Capstone teacher (Dr. Cheteni) immediately following the IMP. Tests whether Ian can extend his argument under pressure and engage objections he didn't choose.

How Ian prepares

  • Practices the IMP standing, with a stopwatch — 6 minutes minimum, 8 minutes maximum. Anything outside that window is non-conforming under AP scoring.
  • For the TMP, the team rehearses defense questions live: each member must field a College Board–style probing question about a teammate's section.
  • Recording done in a quiet room with the laptop camera at eye level. Final files encoded to MP4 (H.264) per Digital Portfolio specs.
