Scholarly Article Oral Presentation – Assessment of Learning

PRESENTATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Now that you’re familiar with the topic presented in your scholarly journal written summary, are you able to present your summary in a succinct manner to a group of interested individuals?

In business, you’ll have status meetings with your boss and your colleagues. You’ll be an expert on whatever it is you’re working on, and your boss will often ask you to give a short synopsis of your project. So, you’ll need to prepare a short PowerPoint presentation to best tell your work’s “story.”

For this Presentation, you are to:

1. Dress in business casual attire – no jeans or ripped clothing. Look crisp, neat and confident.

2. Present in front of the class an overview of the article you researched and wrote about.

Here’s the scenario:

I’m your boss; your classmates are your colleagues. You found a research article that you wanted us to know about. This could be because it pertains to our business or industry, or, just because you thought we as business professionals should be aware of it.

3. Give a 5-minute presentation that includes a few PowerPoint slides. How many? As many as you need to summarize the article.

· Keep your slides high level – you shouldn’t have too much text, just bullet points.

· Keep your slides clean – no background color, one font style, no more than 2 colors throughout.

· Organize your presentation in the same manner you organized your written summary. That means you’d likely have a slide for each section you discussed in your written summary.
