Creating Part 1 of the Final Presentation for the Week 3
Assignment
Part 1 of the Final Presentation must:
Be 5 to 7 slides (excludes the title slide and reference slides)
and be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the
Ashford Writing Center.
Be presented using Microsoft PowerPoint slide presentation.
You have a choice of one of the following options for adding
the narrative to your presentation. Option 1 is using voice or
Option 2 is adding speaker notes to each slide.
Option 1: Recording your voice on each slide. You can view the
tutorial using this link:
adding and recording voice
to each slide.You can also click on the following links to view
the
Accessibility Statement
and
Privacy Policy
. If you choose this option, you must include your APA
formatted citation in the speaker note section of the PPT as
well.
Note: if you use the voice option, make sure your recordings are
clear and concise. It is also important to know that adding voice
narrations that are too lengthy and adding graphics may cause
your PPT file to be very large (megabytes). You may have
trouble loading it to Waypoint. Revisions may be necessary if
this occurs.
Option 2: Using speaker notes for each slide in the PPT. You
can review the tutorial using this link:

Speaker notes are the typed notes that appear below the slide
that complement the presentation slides. Whereas the slides will
have short bulleted items, the speaker notes will be more
detailed. They are essentially what the presenter would say
during the presentation to explain each of the bulleted points on
the slide. Therefore, it is important that the speaker notes are
concise and detailed when explaining the bullet points.
It is recommended that PowerPoint Slides contain no more than
five bullet points and should not contain more than 5 - 7 words
each. Do not type paragraphs or long sentences on the slide. The
information that explains each bullet point is conveyed via
speaker notes or by recording your voice to each slide.
It is required that the Microsoft PowerPoint presentation
include the use of a voice or speaker notes. If you choose to use
the voice capabilities within PowerPoint, you must include your
citations in the speaker notes for each slide.
Be visually engaging. For assistance with designing the visuals
for your presentation, view the video
