Assignment Content: Prepare an Oral Presentation Summarizing Completed Project
Assignment asks students to generate a formal PowerPoint presentation to accompany the final project report or project
product. As has been discussed via course announcements and individual teleconferences, students will prepare a
presentation (as a PPT file) that outlines their final project.
While there is not an actual oral delivery of the presentation, students should prepare their PPT as if they were actually
going to deliver the presentation – so slides should be presented as if the talk were to be delivered. There are three
elements to keep in mind. First, students should identify a target audience for the presentation. For example, you
project might be most relevant to a local emergency manager or a city council. Design your PPT slides accordingly.
Second, assume you have 10 – 12 minutes to make an oral presentation. This means you should not put together 50
slides! Generally speaking, if you have about 10 minutes, you probably would have a maximum of 20 slides (and more
likely a bit less than that). Third, do not try to put too much information on the slides. Though you are not talking
through the content in person, your instructor will be able to understand what information you are highlighting in the
presentation after having read your final work product.
