Guidelines
Your presentation must be 10-15 minutes in length and should consist of approximately 7-12 PowerPoint slides including a title slide at the beginning and a references slide at the end.
Slides should be clear, professionally formatted, and easily readable. Avoid using large blocks of text on slides; short bullet points are preferred (3-7 bullet points per slide, 3-7 words per bullet point). Use of images and other graphics is encouraged, but be sure to use only images that are appropriately licensed for use, and cite the source for all images.
References are very important. At least five authoritative references are required. Anonymous authors are not acceptable. Web sources, if used, must be authored by recognized experts in the field. At least three references must be peer-reviewed, scholarly papers from the DeVry University Library. All should be listed on the last slide, titled references. APA reference style should be used, except that hanging indent format (difficult to do on a slide) is not required.
Appropriate citations are required. Use an APA-style in-text citation (Author, Year) on the slide where you use information from a source, and be sure a corresponding complete reference entry appears on your references slide.
You must provide audio narration in your own voice accompanying your slides, as if you were delivering the presentation to an audience of senior management at your organization. Vocal delivery should be clear, easy to listen to and understand, professionally worded, and free from mispronunciations and overlong pauses or verbal fillers such as "um," "ah," and the like. You may speak from notes if you can do so fluently, or you may wish to write out your narration in full. However, if you write it out, avoid reading in a monotone; vary your rate and tone to keep the audience engaged.
All DeVry University policies are in effect, including the Academic Integrity policy. All text on slides, and all narration, should be primarily your own original wording. If you use any word-for-word quotations from a source on a slide, these must be placed in quotation marks (" . . . ") and the source must be cited. If a word-for-word quotation from a source is used in the narration, but does not appear on a slide, this must be clearly indicated in the narration AND the quoted passage and a source citation must be placed in the Notes section of the corresponding slide.
