As with the paper, you can be as creative as you wish. However, your presentation should include the gist of your paper. You can make your slides first and develop your paper from there or you can write your paper first and then make a summary for your power point slides. Either way, your paper and presentation should tell a consistent story. In addition, since you are an expert of the government you are presenting, you are expected to include an executive summary of your government. Demographic and economic information along with operating information in the statistical section will be useful.
Format
How you present your work in front of others is as important (sometimes even more important) as your written report. Every member of a group is required to participate in presentation equally. The presentation needs to be 20 minutes long and there will be a 10 minute Q&A session afterwards. Do not spend more than two minutes on one slide. In general, putting too many words on one slide is not a good idea. Please give me a hard copy of your power point slides the day before your scheduled presentation date by submitting it here. Remember that you are a broker who presents in front of prospective investors. Be professional. You will be graded according to the Graduate Presentation Rubric shown below.
Even though this is an audio-only presentation, please do not just completely read your section of the presentation. Not only is it not good practice for your career (your presentations in the future aren't going to be audio-only), but it's obvious even in an audio-only environment and boring to listen to.
Your group should decide on a time frame you want to present your work. This time frame should be between the dates listed on the Course Schedule and all of the group members should present a part. Please give me several alternative time frames for your presentation. Before you finalize the time, you should consult the time with me so that I can be present at the Blackboard Collaborate Classroom.
Make sure your group has submitted your Powerpoint slides to the the DAY BEFORE your presentation so that I can upload them to the classroom and make sure they are working correctly.
