Final Test
PowerPoint Final Project
You will create a PowerPoint slide presentation on a topic of your choice. You will open a new, blank PowerPoint presentation—SAVE IT—and then do an “update save” periodically. I suggest selecting a topic that you are interested in or one that you can locate the information on quickly. For example, use the Century College Web site to create a presentation about the college, student organizations, activities, degree awards, calendar of important dates, required assessment tests, YOUR program major, where to get help, registration dates, etc. You could also select a topic such as a hobby, special vacation, a training presentation for your current job or company, favorite animal or pet, a cause that is important to you, an organization or club, a tutorial that teaches the viewer how to do a task or learn a skill, etc. Pick that topic that you do not have to do extensive research on but are interested in.
This PowerPoint final project is due on or before Tuesday, July 19, 11:59 p.m.

ACTIVITY |
|
Spend some time planning your presentation. For instance, “Century College” is a broad topic, and you will need to narrow this topic. What area of Century College would you like to focus on? This is up to you, but some choices include: · Pros and Cons of taking Summer School classes (how/when to register, when classes are offered, etc. · Information about a school club or campus activity · GPS LifePlan · Athletic Teams · Century Foundation (what it is and what it does) · The Century Bookstore or the process of buying/selling textbooks. · Description of your major (classes needed, career outlook) |
|
Research your topic and create an outline of the presentation BEFORE creating the actual slides. This will help in organizing the order of the slides and slide content. |
|
Decide how you are going to create this presentation. You should have a minimum of 8 slides and a maximum of 11. The first slide should be a Title Slide that includes your name and the title of your presentation. Remember to use concise text, no complete sentences, use keywords, and fragments (7 X 7 Rule) when creating the slides. |
|
Include the following items in your presentation: · Appropriate design theme · One SmartArt diagram · One Table (formatted) OR one Chart · Three shapes grouped into a single object · A footer added to all slides except the title slide · A header AND a footer added to all notes/handouts pages (date and title of your presentation) · A clip art image with an animation effect added to it. · A photo with a caption · Animation effects added to three additional slides · Add presentation notes to one slide · Set a 10-second timing for each slide |
|
Run your slideshow, correct any errors, and make necessary adjustments. |
