The presentations should be no less than 13 PowerPoint slides long.  This includes

□     1-Title Slide

□     10-Information Slides (“The End” does not count in this number)

□     At least one Questions Slide

□     1-References Slide (references do not have to be cited within the presentation itself)

□          The Questions slide(s) should have two True-False and two Multiple-choice questions about the presentation.Do not use “all of the above,” as it is the correct answer most of the time One third of your presentation grade will be based on the questions.

□          I want you to use at least one graphic that is pertinent to the presentation.

The questions should be about the most important points in your presentation.  Your presentations will be posted on the class web site and you will be responsible for knowing the answers to the questions at the end of each presentation.  I may use some of the same questions that are on the presentations for the test, or I may modify the questions somewhat on the test.  This seems obvious but, be sure to answer the questions in the presentation.The grades for the presentation will be based on the following:

        Content and Quality of Power Point, ease of following the presentation

        Grammar and structure

   Quality of the questions- Ask well-thought-out questions that do not have obvious answers, like “T/F All people love peanuts.” 

The file size for presentations must not exceed 2 Megabytes.  If you use high-resolution pictures, it can make the file too big.  You can easily reduce the size of a picture with a photo-editor program, before you insert them into your presentation.  I like Picasa, if you want to download a free photo-editing program.  You can also use an online photo editor like Pixlr, which works fine.

Assignment Goal: Improve presentation skills; disseminate information relevant to people today.
