You will create a PowerPoint presentation to summarize your findings. Your PowerPoint is due during Module 4. This assignment is your Semester Project grade, worth 10% of your overall grade in BIO-110. Follow the steps below:
HERE ARE THE TITLES FOR YOUR USE
1.
Explain why females should be choosier than males in selecting a mate.
2.
Summarize the costs and benefits of living in a society.
3.
Compare and contrast reproductive strategies and forms of sexual selection.
1. Create a PowerPoint Presentation summarizing your findings:
2. Your PowerPoint must include a title slide, at least 10 content slides, and a works cited slide.
3. All text in your slides should be written using proper English spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Visit the Semester Project Rubric to see how your submissions will be graded.
4. Slides should be organized as follows: Slide 1: Your title slide should give the research question you investigated, along with your name, course number, and semester.
5. Slide 2-3: Explain the significance of your research question. Slides must contain relevant content in text (3-5 bullet points per slide) and may contain supporting imagery (pictures, graphs, etc.
6. Slide 4: Offer at least two possible answers to your research question. Each should be labeled either “Answer Supported” and “Answer Refuted”.
7. Answer Supported: This is the answer to your question that is supported by the evidence in your article and other sources. For example, “Answer Supported: Food A is healthier than Food B.”
8. Answer Refuted: This is the answer that’s not supported by your article and other sources. For example: “Answer Refuted: Food B is healthier than Food A.”
9. After slide 4, use additional slides to describe and explain the evidence that the Answer Supported is a reliable answer. These slides must be titled “Evidence for Answer Supported.”
10. Slides must contain relevant content in text (3-5 bullet points per slide) and may contain supporting imagery (pictures, graphs, etc.).
11. Use examples, applications, and observations from your research – do not merely list facts.
12. Explain why each piece of evidence is important or relevant.
13. Next, explain why the Answer Refuted is inaccurate, and how the inaccurate misconception of its accuracy may have arisen. These slides must be titled “Evidence against Answer Refuted.”
14. Slides must contain relevant content in text (3-5 bullet points per slide) and may contain supporting imagery (pictures, graphs, etc.).
15. Your final slide should be a Works Cited page with a complete, APA formatted references for at least 3 sources.
16. Remember to use in-text citations as you borrow from each source in your presentation.

19. Submit your “Self-Evaluation” as a “.doc” file and a draft of your PowerPoint as a .pptx file using the link available in the Module 4 Folder within the course Blackboard site by

. This is worth 5 bonus points on your Presentation grade.
