Presentation Guideline:
Each group will prepare 1 PowerPoint file which should have at least (minimum) 2 presentation slides contributions from each student (write your name at the bottom of those slides) of the designated group. Each group member will present for around 4 minutes. Another 5 minutes will be Question & Answer time.
In the presentation slides, you will have to provide a brief introduction of MDB, list out the current problems of the catchment, current strategies used for the catchment management at present and recommended future strategies for proper catchment management. Try to incorporate information on stakeholders of MDB and their roles as well.
While you will be presenting in a group, try to maintain coherency in your presentation. Avoid overlapping of information on slides. Make sure to cite the source of information (You may wish to keep a list of references on the end slide). Prepare well formatted neat slide with appropriate font size and check for typo. Avoid long sentences and try to use some facts and figures in your slides to make it more interesting. Maintain consistency in terms of format of the slide. Slides prepared by a team member should be distinguished by adding his/her name on the footer of those slides.
