Presentation Guidelines

Your PowerPoint presentation is to be 15 minutes in duration plus or minus one minute. Therefore, when you rehearse your presentation, note the time. You may include a video segment provided it does not exceed 2 minutes in length.

PowerPoint presentations are due to be delivered as per the schedule handed out. Presentations that are not ready or do not run due to technical problems (other than technical problems with the computer or LCD projector) will be given a “0” grade. Rehearse your presentation so that you are certain the slide show is functioning properly.
