Powerpoint Presentation
For the Powerpoint portion of this class, we will be making a Powerpoint presentation and presenting it. This presentation will count as your Powerpoint test. There are several things I will be looking for as you give your slideshow:
- At least 12 slides
- Text should be easy to read from the back of the room. Use the “Rule of 6” to determine this (stand 6 feet from your monitor and if you can easily read your text, you’re good).
- Use a Design template (either from the Web or from inside PowerPoint)
- Have at least three types of slide layouts.
- Use both animations and slide transitions on all slides
- Use some form of clipart on at least one slide
- Place a chart, table or graph on at least one slide
- Please do not use sounds (this is a personal rule of mine, it’s kind of a pet peeve…).
- Print a page of handouts to give to me on the day of your presentation. There should be six slides per page.
Well, Ben, that’s all well and good, but what in the world am I going to do this presentation on??? I’m glad you asked!
Do it on ANYTHING you want! I want to be educated! Do it on a hobby, a passion, something completely random, something you’ve already done research for in another class, something. There are no right or wrong topics here (ok, nothing pornographic, but you get my point).
Some examples:
- How to change your oil
- Why we should invade Canada
- Why Michael Jackson is guilty/innocent
- A history of your favorite rock band
- How to tame horses
- How to take blood
- How George Dubya is ruining/saving our nation
- Why you shouldn’t buy milk from Wal-Mart.
- Your stance on gun control, etc.
- Planning a vacation
- Unique investment strategies
You’ll have the next few weeks to work on this presentation. We’ll give them March 28.
Remember, you still need to come to class, even though there won’t be any formal lecturing!!!
Homework:
- Work on your presentations!!!
