The format of your submission is up to you. It can be an essay, speech, or slide presentation with notes/comments. Your submission should include a strong introduction, conclusion, and reference list.
The format of your submission is up to you. It can be a video speech or a slide presentation with notes/comments/audio. Your submission should include a strong introduction, conclusion, and reference list.
If you opt to deliver a video speech, you will need to submit an outline of your speech in addition to recording the speech. The best way to submit a video speech is to record it and submit it on YouTube. The link for the video speech must then be inserted onto the outline that also contains a reference list. Your speech should last 7-10 minutes to cover all aspects of the assignment.
If you opt to submit a PowerPoint presentation, remember that todays workers want to see no more than 5 words and a picture on each slide. All those other words you want to fill your slides up with belong on the notes pages, not on the slides. Put just one short bullet point on a slide, not multiple points. In addition, pictures of people must be real people, not clip art. You should have 12-15 slides, not counting the cover or reference list slides; however, you are not penalized for going over the number of slides. To do any less than 12 slides means that the PowerPoint presentation does not adequately address all the questions. The important thing here is to limit the info on the slides and to put your oral commentary (what you want to say about the slide) on the notes pages. You can also record an audio file on each slide.
Some students use work computers to complete their homework and sometimes are not allowed to record traditional videos like those found on YouTube. In this case, do a PowerPoint presentation and record and insert a short audio file on each slide until all questions have been addressed. Tip: You can type your audio file transcript on the notes pages and record yourself reading the transcript out loud.
