Reference page that follows APA format.
An additional component of the course project is the PowerPoint Presentation. Develop and arrange a maximum ten (10) slide PowerPoint presentation under a separate cover that highlights the project.
Include between 5 or 6 abbreviated bullets for each slide - approximately 24-point font.
Title slide: content includes title of assignment, student name, course title and date.
When creating the presentation, craft it in a "business professional" manner with appropriate text proportions, consistent and professional font, and appropriate images to caveat your information. While some features of PowerPoint may be "cool" or better at catching attention, it may not be suitable for presenting professional information and driving home your point.
Your presentation should be written in APA style writing with appropriate citations. Include a references slide at the end of your presentation for your resources.
The title page and reference page are not included in the total slide count.
