Before we start on how to create effective and impactful PowerPoints…
Let’s talk about your
FINAL PAPER – The submission box is in this week’s folder
You will cut and paste the parts of your FINAL EXAM into the FINAL PAPER
Each part already has a grade; this assignment and the others will be averaged for your final exam grade
You do NOT need to write ANYTHING new.
ALL you will be evaluated on is:
ARE ALL THE PARTS THERE?
ARE THEY IN THE CORRECT ORDER?
THAT IS IT!!!!
So now…. PowerPoint and presentation skills!
Let’s go BACK in time:
Remember YOUR “why”!
WHY were
your topic and your research question important to YOU?
What SERVICE did you want to perform by conducting this research?
How can you best tell that “story?”
Stories:
Your story will be like a story for children in some ways!
It will:
lay out the problem your research wanted to mitigate or solve
give information you learned about the problem from the research
end with your recommendation BASED on the research
