Powerpoint

  1. Length: 25 
    1. Design:
      • Do not to overcrowd your slides with information.
      • Be thorough, but also be concise.
      • Use bullet points to highlight main points.
      • If you use graphics, be sure to condense them, so your presentation is not too large.
    2. Mechanics:
      • PowerPoint does not require that you write full sentences or paragraphs; in fact, this will detract from your presentation. 
      • Your ideas must flow logically and your points should be presented in a consistent format.
      • Check your spelling and use standard American English.
    3. Consult at least three (3) SCHOLARLY sources (including your textbook) in preparing your presentation. Your last slide should be a References slide following APA format.
      • Include a citation on each slide for all sources used.
      • For all course work submitted or posted, students must cite all sources of information whereas I can retrieve a copy of the source to verify it.  If a book is used, the student must include the page number of where the information was taken.
      • Students should not use sources that are more than 10 years old.  
      • If the professor is not able to retrieve the information, it will not be considered as a source and or the information will be assumed to be plagiarized.
      • You must cite your sources on each slide.  Points will be deducted for not doing so.
    • WARNING: DO NOT PLAGIARIZE FROM AN ORGANIZATION’S WEBSITE!LATE ASSIGNMENTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED; however, you may turn in your assignment early.
