Management 464
Assignment of Learning Objectives to Students

12:30 Section

Project Guidelines

  • You should prepare for a 10 minute (minimum) to 15 minute (maximum) presentation (NOTE: Same total length expectation whether you are assigned 1 or 2 learning objectives);
  • Your presentation should try to convey the major themes/ideas of the learning objective(s) you are assigned;
  • You can use the material (words and graphics) from your chapter’s PowerPoint (provided to you on Moodle), but you should condense and customize the material (words AND graphics) to create your own, original PowerPoint (with your selections on all aspects of slide design) to fit the time frame you are to aim for with this presentation;
  • You must use video(s) that fit the material you are conveying, but video content can take-up no more than 1/3rd of your presentation time;
  • You will be graded based on your preparation and organization for the presentation, as well as your ability to convey the material concisely, clearly, and effectively. You will be assessed both on the slides you use (so work for high-quality slides and “flow” to your presentation), the video(s) you choose to show and how you explain the linkage to course concepts, your overall creativity with the assignment (which is strongly encouraged), and yes, your speaking abilities (including, but not limited to: eye contact [i.e. lack of reading], familiarity with the content, speech (pacing, voice projection, etc.);
  • You should be prepared to turn-in a black-and-white copy of your slides in handout (3-6 to a page) form at the beginning of the class on the date you present; and
  • On the date assigned for your presentation, please arrive at least 5 minutes early to allow for setup of the slide presentations.
