In order to minimize lengthy wording on the slides, students will be graded on their use of the Notes section of the slides in formulating the narrative portion of the presentation. This approach will allow the use of bullet points on the slides but demonstrate the depth and scope of the research conducted in the Notes section. A minimum of 75 words in the Notes Section for each content slide is required for full credit for this assignment.
