Overview: Capstone Project – Presentation
Submit your completed PowerPoint Presentation with speaker notes to this assignment portal. Include at least 12 total slides; Slide 1 will be the title slide followed by at least 10 content slides with speaker notes added. The closing slide(s) will include your full reference list, not considered content slides.
Your project should represent high-quality work – something you would expect to see in a professional setting. Perhaps your employer will be interested in facilitating its use in a real-life situation!
You will upload your PowerPoint for grading. You will also upload the forms or documents you would use for evaluation (two evaluation tools will be created) of your information dissemination.
These might be in the form of informal observation records and/or formal tests or
questionnaires.
PowerPoint Portion of Assignment: Presentation
You will submit a Power Point presentation containing a title slide, 10-15 slides each with comprehensive content demonstrating use of your peer-reviewed sources, and reference slides.
Remember to include a source for each image or graphic included on the slides; this is easiest done directly on the slide under or next to the image.
Your “talking points” are considered speaker notes and should contain 20-30 minutes of “talk time.”
Information read directly from the slide should be included in the speaker notes.
We recommend you time yourself while reading your speaker notes to determine if your presentation is within the 20-30 minutes for content.
Your speaker notes should be written exactly as you would be speaking to your audience.
You do need to include citations in your speaker notes. Be sure to include all of your references on the reference slide(s).
How many content slides are required?
You must have at least 12 total slides. The title slide and reference slides do not count as content slides, so your total slides with content (extensive speaker notes) will be 10 or more.
Do I record the presentation?
No. Your grade is based on the 10 or more content slides including extensive speaker notes to represent at least 20 minutes of spoken content.
How do I add speaker notes?
Open the PowerPoint. Select View – then select Notes Page. Type or paste your notes in the notes section. DO NOT SEND A RECORDING OF YOU READING NOTES. You must include written speaker notes with citations, which represent at least 20 minutes of spoken presentation. Point loss is significant without detailed speaker notes included. Accurate presentation of content with differentiation between facts and opinions; well organized with at least 9 in text citations from useful sources; must have 10-15 content slides with comprehensive speaker notes for each slide.
