Assessment- Research Paper and Presentation

The Presentation

You can get top marks in this presentation by doing the following:

- Keep your presentation between 4 ½ and 5 minutes. Presentations outside this range will be penalised and those longer than 5 minutes will be cut off. Students who work in pairs should present for 2 ½ minutes each
- Be prompt and prepared
- Introduce yourself
- Provide a quick introduction to your topic.
- Don't simply read from your report or deliver a prepared speech. Show that you understand what you are talking about.
- Face your audience and try not to block the projector
- Provide a summary at the end
- Ask your audience if they have any questions (and be prepared to answer at least one question from a student or your teacher)
- Thank your audience for their time

Some tips:
- Practice your presentation. If you haven't given it out loud (preferably to a friend) you haven't prepared it. It's also the best way to settle nerves - if you know you can do it you will have less to be fearful of.
- If you are scared of public speaking, one of the great tips (apart from the one about being prerpared, and the other about imagining your audience all wearing their underware) is to imagine it going well and speaking positively to yourself, over-and-over again, until you can see it going well and believe it is possible.
- You might find it useful to use cards (with few words) that are small enough to sit in your hand (business card size is good) or make a sheet with big headings (and nothing else) and lay it on the table where you can glance at it occasionally.

MS PowerPoint skills assessment
Create an MS PowerPoint document that is a quick summary of your report. Be sure to:
- Use a common MS PowerPoint design "Theme"
- Alter that theme using Master Slide
- Include animations and transitions
- Use images wherever possible.
- Use short sentences and not many words on each slide - just headings and prompts
- Keep your slides readable by carefully choosing colours and fonts
- Be consistent and professional across slides and don't add too many bells and whistles.
- Include other features where appropriate for your particular content

Research Paper Requirements

Your paper should be between 400 and 600 words, including a short introduction and a short conclusion. Less is usually better.

Content should be accurate and complete and should properly address the topics we have covered this semester.

MS Word Requirements
Your document should take advantage of Microsoft Word functionality by implementing the following:
- A Cover Page
- A Table of Contents
- A Table of References at the end of your document and citations throughout, all managed with MS Word's "Citation and Bibliography" tool. Use "Harvard Notation". Provide at least two sources in addition to your Moodle resources and our textbook.
- A header and footer:
o Make all text grey and smaller than the body text
o Use 18pt spacing after header's last line and before the footer's first line
o The header should contain our subject's code and name and your name.
o The footer should use tabs to position 4 fields that update automatically:
- the name of your document, positioned on the left
- the date that the document was last modified, positioned in the middle
- the current page and the total number of pages, positioned on the right
- There should be consistency throughout your document in terms of styling. To achieve this use MS Word's "Styles":
o At least 3 of the Styles in your document should be named by you:
- "Doc Title" for the title of the document
- "1st Level" for the main headings. Name sub-headings "2nd Level " and "3rd Level"
- "Base Style" for general, normal text (body text)
o Modify the settings of those styles you have named in the following ways (and add other changes as you wish):
- For "Base Style": 12pt, black, Calibri font. Paragraph should use 1.5 line spacing, 0pt spacing before "auto" spacing after
- For "1st Level": 20pt coloured Georgia font. Give the paragraph a coloured, thin, underline that travels across the page, 18pt spacing before and 3pt after.
- For "Doc Title": bold 40pt Georgia font, centred horizontally.
