MS PowerPoint. At least four slides are required, including 1) a title slide, 2) an overview slide, 3) a lessons for public administrators slide, and 4) a connections to course concepts slide. The title slide requires your original, relevant title, not just the name of the article you read, your name, my name, the course name, and the date. For the overview slide, students are required to brainstorm what theyd include in an overview of the article using a mind mapping diagram. Similarly, for the lessons for public administrators slide, students are required to brainstorm what theyd include in this section of the paper, including at least four good lessons for administrators and supporting points for each lesson, using a mind mapping diagram. Finally, for the connections to course concepts slide, students are required to brainstorm what theyd include in this section of the paper, including at least four good connections to course concepts and supporting points for each connection, using a mind mapping diagram. Review the paper requirements for a more in-depth description of what the overview, lessons for public administrators, and connections to course concepts sections should include to help you brainstorm what to include in the diagrams. Students can be creative with this assignment and the appearance of their slides; students may desire to use the SmartArt feature in PowerPoint located under the Insert tab. This assignment constitutes four percent (4%) of your course grade.
