Oral Report #4--Final Exam. 8% of final grade

Goals

 

This is your last oral report of the semester, and should be your most polished and refined. Your goal should be to show your classmates (and me) that you have made great strides as an oral presenter this semester. Rehearse, plan, practice, so that your presentation is coherent (without funny little breaks and pauses) and polished (without verbal distractors). Use your creativity to show us what you can do! 
What You Have To Do

 

+Explain the project you have undertaken and its background as well as any audience constraints
+Discuss both what went well in putting the report together and what gave you difficulties
+Explain your conclusions and/or recommendations
Constraints

Your requirements for this report are:
+Use around 8 minutes, including time for questions and feedback. (If you are not close to this time, severe penalties will apply.)
+Show that you have worked on the problem areas in oral presentation that you identified from your videotape
+Engage the audience interactively--presentations that consist of a mini-lecture followed by "any questions?" will be penalized in grade
+Wear your best (interview-quality) business attire. You won't be graded on clothes, hair, etc., but I will critique it.
+Create and use at least five PowerPoint slides (and I mean use them, don’t just project them on the screen as a background wallpaper or your grade will suffer!) Your classmates will teach you how to create slides in Oral Presentation #2 and there are online tutorials linked through the Resources page.
+Handouts are optional
+You must inspire at least one question from your audience (not including me) to have this report receive above a "C".
