FINAL PROJECT HANDOUTDue: May 5, 2023 at 11:59PM
Description:
For your final project, you will create and present a PowerPoint presentation (via
Youtube or Loom) on one chapter in the textbook. You may choose from any of the
chapter. Submissions will be uploaded via CANVAS. Regarding your recordings please
aim for a 10-minute presentation.
The goals of the project are two-fold: (1) to demonstrate that you have mastered the
material in your chapter and (2) to teach the chapter to the online cohort. Thus, you
should not simply “cut and paste” from your book. Although I understand that you might
want to quote important passages, for the most part you should present the ideas in the
chapter in your own words because this is how you demonstrate to me that you have
mastered the material. When working on your project, assume that nobody else in the
class, including me, has read it. This will prevent you from skipping or skimming over
important material.
Video Recording:
At the end of this document you will find some helpful tips to recording your
PowerPoint. Reminder, at the end of your presentation please have a slide designated to
the URL link so that I can go to directly to your recording via Youtube or LOOM. Make
sure to check out your link as well before submission. There will be additional resources
uploaded onto CANVAS as well.
If there are issues as you complete this assignment let me know.
PowerPoint Content:
•
Title slide(s)
o Chapter number
o Chapter name
o Course information
▪ Name of course

in the chapter?
1
▪
I suggest having one slide that lists all of the main ideas, followed
by different slides for each of the main ideas.
o This is the most important part of your presentation! It is where you
are expected to teach the class the content of your chapter. Be advised that
your presentation should clearly explain each of the main ideas in
excruciating detail.
▪ If you quote the textbook, be sure to explain what the author is
saying in your own words.
▪ If you use a diagram, graph, or table from the textbook, make sure
you explain what it means.
• Chapter Critique
o Did you find anything wrong with the chapter? For instance:
▪ Did you disagree with any of the ideas presented?
▪ Did you think that any of the ideas were not fully explained?
▪ If you were the editor, is there any content that you would take
out? Why? Would you put something else in its place? If so, what?
▪ Do you have any suggestions for improving the chapter?
