PowerPoint Presentation

Due Date

See the calendar for due date.

Description

You get to produce a MS PowerPoint Presentation about a career in your field that you're interested in. This should be a fun and relaxing presentation to highlight the career and what you're doing to prepare for it. Be sure to include information about what is needed to be a good candidate for this career, best and worst about the position, any geographic constraints and if you want, a salary range.

In addition to submitting your PowerPoint Presentation, you also need to submit a copy of the rubric. Copy-and-paste the rubric below in a Word document and include your own estimate for each of the Slides criterion.

The order of the presentations will be emailed to each student. You can expect between 5-8 presentations per class period. This means you may need to prepare to give your presentation on one day, but have to wait until the next class period to give it.

A good resource for creating a MS PowerPoint presentation is www.gcflearnfree.org/powerpoint2013.

Submission

Submit your PowerPoint presentation into the "MS PowerPoint Presentation" D2L dropbox at elearn.mtsu.edu. Additionally, submit your MS Word document with your filled-in rubric into the "MS PowerPoint Presentation - Rubric" D2L dropbox.
Note, late submissions will be ignored. If you re-submit an assignment, only the latest resubmission will be graded.
