Acknowledgements (Optional)
This section is sometimes include in a PowerPoint or paper if a student wishes to acknowledge an instructor, colleague, or organization that helped with their research. It is usually best to keep it short, sweet, and to the point.
Speaker notes over any acknowledgements would be written here.
10
References
Reference list is alphabetized and with hanging indention. If you used any websites for imagery, include those sources at the bottom. You will want to limit the number of unreliable sources (e.g. .dot coms and Wikipedia) as most of your sources should be from peer-reviewed sources. This will increase the validity of your research as you want your audience to feel that the information you are presenting is reliable.
