Sample MS Powerpoint Slides
Your group's presentation of the DID project is an important part of this assignment. The following information is provided in order that the process to be followed in preparing this portion of the DID project is clear and the techniques which might be covered understood.Presentation Objectives
KEY REQUIREMENT - Because it is easy to confuse various versions of your team's PP slides, the title slide should always have the date slides were last revised or prepared.
It is also a REQUIREMENT that your team bring the final PP presentation approved by Dr. Edelbach to class on a flash drive the day of the presentation as well as a printed copy, 6-up in black and white. Not doing so may result in the presentation being postponed or cancelled.
PP File Name - Follow this format when assigning the name to your team's PP file
SET-A-PP-BT-1-draft.ppt - ( "A" is your SET section "PP" indicates this is a PP file
"BT-2" is your team's designation "draft" indicates specific assignment )
The key issues to keep in mind when preparing your team's presentation include:
1. Speaking level and intonation
2. Familiarity of speaker with information
4. Organization of information
5. Design and use of visual aids
6. Time utilization
Since this is a team activity, all members of the group must participate equally in the presentation. During the remainder of the seminar period, group members are expected to serve as "subject matter experts" and participate in the discussion related to their sub-topic.
Although note cards can be consulted when giving your presentation, you MUST NOT READ from either the cards or the screen.
Most of the time, you should be looking at your audience when speaking with occasional glances at the laptop's screen.

Ask yourself :Organization of presentation: Major partsBased on your answers to this question, review your draft presentation and determine the extent to which it will accomplish your objective/s.
If a person is not familiar with the material, exactly what do you expect then to "know" as a result of the presentation?"
The answers to the questions your group formulates are really the objectives of your presentation. They could be stated in "behavioral" terms such as:1. After this presentation, audience members will be able to name the three primary factorsIt is not necessary for your group to actually develop "behavioral" objectives such as those above. They are provided as examples of one way to consider the your team's goals..

2. After this presentation, audience members will be able to correctly name three factors
which must be evaluated before implementing a policy change..Title Slide - This slide should include the following information:PP Sample Slides - View these early in this process of developing your presentation and often while that is being done.
1. Title of presentation - sub-topic name
2. DID Topic - i.e., Bio-Technology, etc
3. Names of team members and area of responsibility
4. Course name and number - SET, IDS 252
5. Semester and year
6. Date slides were last revised - smaller type size
It is usually important to include some pictures or graphics on slides where that would be helpful, especially the title slide.
Using a color back which is not too complicated is usually also worth doing. See my sample PP slides.
All slides must be numbered sequentially.
Each member of the group should be introduced at the beginning of the presentation. The actual presentation can be divided into three major parts, the introduction, body and conclusion. The body is where the majority of the information is presented. Each team member shares equal responsibility for the contents of the introduction and conclusion.
