Business Communications – BUS 152
Presentation Slides and Overview
Please review the doc listed above to see what some of the possible options are for you to create a PPT presentation for this course. You need to submit the request and the topic and these will be handled on a first come, first serve basis. I prefer that two students do not create a PPT presentation on the exact same topic. We will share these PPT’s during the final week’s in a Discussion Forum. YOU will not be presenting this PPT in our on-line class, just posting it on Canvas…submit your topic if possible by November 12, 2021 by 11:59 p.m. PST. Choice of presentation is on a first come, first serve basis. I permit two students at the most to present the exact same topic. Otherwise, you will need to select another presentation topic.
Thanks.

PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS (5% or 5 points)
One of the course requirements for Bus 152 is for each student to create a visual presentation during this on line class. What follows is a summary of the basic requirements for the presentation only. You are not expected to present this topic in class. I would like a professional and written (slides via PowerPoint or Prezi software) (Chapter 12, which specifically covers oral presentation suggestions and strategies, and a quick and easy handbook will be provided in the Presentation Assignment section with the first couple of weeks to help you and be your guide).
CREATING A WINNING PPT PRESENTATION
DATES & TOPICS
The presentations will NOT be given in class. A list of topics for your presentation will be discussed during the first two weeks. You can begin this exploration of a topic by reviewing a copy of a short list which appears in your textbook in what is designated as Activity # 12.14 on pages 390-391, or in what is designated as Activity No. 12.09 on page 389. Or you can select any topic from the Table of Contents that relates to Business Communications.
We will sign up during the first two weeks and please note that no more than two students will be permitted to present on the same topic. If there are duplicate requests, the professor will discuss with the two students. Sign up is first come and first serve.
LENGTH OF PRESENTATIONS
Plan to make your presentation to cover at the most an approximate three to- five-minute presentation. Please ensure that you PPT is no longer than 8 slides. You will be expected to respond and/or to answer a few comments about your PPT during the Discussion Forum (toward the end of the course). These presentations will become the basis for our last discussion post in Week Eight. Due date is Sunday, December 5, 2021, by 11:59 p.m. PST I think this will be a great way to review and gain more insights in the class about business communications too!
Feel free to use any form of visual aid that you believe is appropriate, including PowerPoint, the classroom board, written outlines or other written handouts, and/or the internet. Most of the tools you have within the Microsoft Office package and you can work with other software; however, this must be a presentation that can be viewed via Canvas.
The presentation is worth a maximum of 100 points, with a weighing of 5% toward your overall grade.

EVALUATION CRITERIA
A sample evaluation sheet, which specifically sets forth the criteria on which you will be evaluated for this project, is located under the Assignments section for Presentation Assignment. You will be evaluated based on a variety of criteria, including content, clarity, organization, preparation, knowledge of the subject matter, presentation skills format, design of the presentation, use of visual aids, and quality of the written material in the presentation. This is not a verbal presentation. You are using the tools to create a presentation.
FINAL COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS
This assignment is an opportunity to gain insights about how to use software as PowerPoint or Prezi and offer a simple, concise and designed presentation. You are not required to submit an actual audio or video of this presentation. Chapter 12 will be most helpful to you to look at the design of the Presentation and use all the tools that we are learning in this class: clarity, flow and structure.
