A group will be developed (3-5) students per each. You can use graphics that serve your topic with clear illustration. Encourage your classmate to participate and answer your questions. the leader of the group is responsible to submit the presentation The PPT should not be more than 15 slides and not less than 8 with excluding title and reference pages. Use appropriate references as per the APA Style. The total presentation time should be 10-20 minutes with assuring that all presenters participated equally and helped each other as needed. A rubric will be used to evaluate your presentation and it will be attached for you on blackboard to familiarize yourself with the evaluation areas. Presentation Rubric Poor Fair Good Excellent 0.4 pts 0.6 pts 0.8 pts 1.0 pts Student presents information in logical, interesting sequence which audience can follow. Student demonstrates full knowledge (more than required) by answering all class questions with explanations and elaboration. Student's graphics explain and reinforce screen text and presentation. Presentation has no misspellings or grammatical errors. Organization Audience cannot understand presentation because there is no sequence of information. Audience has difficulty following presentation because student jumps around. Student presents information in logical sequence which audience can follow. Subject Knowledge Student does not have grasp of information; student cannot answer questions about subject. Student is uncomfortable with information and is able to answer only rudimentary questions. Student is at ease with expected answers to all questions, but fails to elaborate. Graphics Student uses superfluous graphics or no graphics Student's graphics relate to text and presentation. Mechanics Student's presentation has four or more spelling errors and/or grammatical errors. Multiple group members not participating. Evident lack of preparation/rehearsal. Dependence on slides. Student occasionally uses graphics that rarely support text and presentation. Presentation has three misspellings and/or grammatical errors. Group Dynamics Total Significant controlling by some members with one minimally contributing. Primarily prepared but with some dependence on just reading off slides. Presentation has no more than two misspellings and/or grammatical errors. Slight domination of one presenter. Members helped each other. Very well prepared. Total (5) All presenters knew the information, participated equally, and helped each other as needed. 0.0/5
