Assignment 3: Justification Report – Presentation
Due Week 8 and worth 150 points
Now that you have completed your report, it is time to design and present your
findings. Your task is to organize and develop the three (3) parts
(introduction, body, and closing) of an effective presentation, based on your
Justification Report (Assignment 2.3). Chapter 12 in our text provides overall
information on presentation format, content, and delivery. Please do not simply
cut and paste your justification report content to the slides. Instead develop
clear, concise content that enhances your presentation narration or notes.
Remember that your slides are meant to be highlights and your audience should
not spend a great deal of time reading from the slides but instead listening to
you present the concepts.
Create an eight to ten (8-10) slide presentation in which you:
Ensure that your PowerPoint presentationfulfills the appropriate length requirements and professional
style requirements.
Open with an engaging introduction of the topic of your report. Include one (1)
title slide and one (1) introductory slide.
For the body of your presentation, cover the main points of your report. Create
slides that reinforce and illustrate your main ideas. Follow basic design
principles for effective slide content.
For your single closing slide, finish with a memorable wrap-up statement that
refocuses on the purpose of your report.
Use PowerPoint voice-over and / or the notes section to present your
slides.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Include a title slide containing the title of the assignment, your name, the
professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The title slide is not
included in the required slide length.
Format the PowerPoint presentation with headings on each slide, and two to
three (2-3) relevant graphics (photographs, graphs, clip art, etc.) throughout
the presentation, ensuring that the presentation is visually appealing and
readable from 18 feet away. Check with your professor for any additional
instructions.
Slides should abbreviate the information in no more than five or six (5 or 6) bullet
points each.
Slide titles should be based on the criteria being summarized (e.g., “Four Key
Attributes,” “Responses to Budget Issues,” etc.).
