CRJ-5100 ISSUES IN HOMELAND SECURITY ON-LINE PRESENTATION INSTRUCTIONS AND GRADING RUBRIC
Your final papers for the CRJ-5100 Issues in Homeland Security course must be accompanied by a virtual PowerPoint presentation containing a summary of the salient findings from your essay. Below is a url link to a YouTube video providing detailed instructions on how to create narrated PowerPoint presentations. Also provided is a scoring rubric for how your presentations will be graded. Ultimately, you are to create separate slides for the Introduction, Thesis Statement, Main Findings, and Summary/Conclusion sections of your paper. For each slide, simply type-up in bullet point fashion what the main themes are of each section, then narrate over each slide by verbally describing its content. All you are doing with these slides is presenting information from your papers in an alternate format, similar to as if you were delivering a class presentation. Consider this as an opportunity to test your oration/public speaking abilities. As always if you have any questions about how to create your slides, please let me know. Final paper/online presentation due in respective D2L dropbox folders of our course shell no later than October 13, 2021 at 11:59 PM (central).
