Use a minimum of three to five references, with at least one citation for each reference in APA style format required. Be sure to include a cover slide and wrap your presentation up with a closing slide and a slide of the references utilized in your research.
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.
IMPORTANT: Finally, see the weighted grading rubric in the Gradebook section for specific details on how your assignment will be graded.
