Return on Investment – Education Funding
Develop a three- to five-page analysis (excluding the title and
reference pages) on the projected return on investment for your
college education and projected future employment. This
analysis will consist of two parts.
Part 1: Describe how and why you made the decision to pursue
an MBA. In the description, include calculations of expenses
and opportunity costs related to that decision.
Part 2: Analyze your desired occupation. Determine how much
compensation (return) you expect to earn and how long will it
take to pay back the return on this investment. Use the financial
formulas, Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return
(IRR), and Payback, provided in Chapters 3 and 4 of your text.
The analysis should be comprehensive and reference specific
examples from a minimum of two scholarly sources, in addition
to your text. The paper must be formatted according to APA.
NOTES: Needed to pursue MY MBA to position myself for a
promotion at work.
Occupation is Manager of supply chain operations spent around
80,000.00 on school. This should be enough info for you.

PowerPoint Tips
1. Remember the K-I-S-S rule (Keep It Short and Simple).
a. Do not put entire paragraphs on your slides.
b. Use bullets and only include your main ideas.
c. Stick to the 8x8 rule – 8 lines with 8 words each max per
slide. There should be very limited exceptions, eg. definitions,
quotes, etc.
d. PowerPoint has lots of bells and whistles. Just because it’s

there, doesn’t mean you have to use it.
i. Use simple slide transitions and builds (see #8). Too much
spinning and flashing and blinking is distracting and may cause
seizures in some people.
ii. Use sounds only if it enhances the message. Omit the
applause and the whooshing when the slides change or the text
enters/exits.
2. Limit the number of font colors to no more than 2 or 3. Use
formatting sparingly – to highlight important information.
3. Consistency is key. All the slides should look like they are
from the same presentation. Use design templates (themes) to
help achieve this.
4. For slide titles, use sentence case, not all CAPS, and center
the text.
5. Title font should be at least 38pt font.
6. Text should be at least 24pt font.
7. On dark backgrounds, use light font. On light backgrounds,
use dark font. Light backgrounds with dark fonts “pop” more.
8. Graphics and sound should be relevant. Don’t include
anything that does not add to the message.
9. Builds refer to the way text, graphics, objects, etc enter or
exit the slide. This is done using the Custom Animation button
on the Animations tab. Highlight the text/graphic/object, and
click the Custom Animation button.
10. Changes to the entire presentation can be made by making
changes to the Slide Master (View Slide Master).

Education World® Quiz Students With PowerPoint!
Quiz Students With PowerPoint!
By Lorrie Jackson
WHY A TECHTORIAL?
What will I learn today?
You will learn how to create non-linear PowerPoint slide shows
that can be used as quizzes or interactive storybooks.
QUIZ STUDENTS WITH POWERPOINT
Are you bored with PowerPoint slide shows that move
inevitably from Slide 1 to Slide 2 to Slide 3? Do you think
PowerPoint is useful only to illustrate teacher lectures and
student presentations? Think again! PowerPoint also can be
used to create "non-linear" slide shows for a variety of
classroom activities. In this techtorial, you'll learn how to make
a non-linear PowerPoint show. Although the techtorial focuses
on an early childhood math activity, you also can follow the
directions to create a PowerPoint show in another content area
and/or at another grade level.
ON WITH THE SHOW!
1. Open PowerPoint and create six slides.
2. Click the Design tab to locate slide design templates. Apply
the template of your choice.
3. Make Slide 1 the title slide.

4. Make Slide 2 the question or problem slide. To illustrate the
question or problem, use any clip art that is appropriate for your
subject and grade level.
5. Make Slide 3 the wrong answer slide.
6. Make Slide 4 the correct answer slide.
7. Make Slide 5 the second question or problem slide.
8. Make Slide 6 the concluding slide.
9. Save your slides.
DUPLICATING SLIDES
1. Find the View Icons at the bottom left of your computer
screen.
2. Click the icon with four 4 squares or windows to open the
Slide Sorter View. You will see all the slides you created in the
order in which you created them. Notice that you created a
correct response slide ("That's Right!") and an incorrect
response slide ("Oops…try again!") for the first question ("How
many dogs do you see?").
3. You also need to create a correct response slide and an
incorrect response slide for the second question ("How many
monkeys do you see?"). To do that, you:

a. Click Slide 3 ("Oops...try again!").
b. Press CTRL and D to duplicate Slide 3.
c. Click Slide 4 ("That's Right!") and press CTRL and D to
duplicate it.
d. Now, you have two "Oops…try again!" slides and two "That's
Right!" slides.
e. Save your work.
PUTTING THEM IN ORDER
The Slide Sorter View now should look like this:
The two new slides need to appear after the "How many
monkeys do you see?" slide. To move those two slides:
1. Click one of the "Oops…try again!" slides.
2. Hold down the mouse button, and drag the slide to the area
after the Monkey Slide.
3. Click one of the "That's Right!" slides and drag it to the area
after the second "Oops…try again!" slide. The Slide Sorter
View now should look like this:
4. Save your work.
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
Now, take a look at how the math activity should work. Double-
click Slide 2 to see it in Normal view. Four dogs are on the

slide, so "4" is the correct answer to the question "How many
dogs do you see?" If a student clicks "4," therefore, he or she
should move to the "That's Right!" slide. The "3," "5," and "6"
are incorrect answers. If a student clicks "3," "5," or "6," he or
she should go to the "Oops...try again!" slide.
You need to add hyperlinks to take students to the appropriate
slide. Here's how:
1. Highlight answer "3," and go to Insert>Hyperlink on the
menu bar at the top of the page.
2. Click Place in this Document. A list of all the slides you've
created will appear.
3. Answer "3" is incorrect, so click the slide title "Oops...!"
immediately after the slide titled "How many dogs do you see?"
4. Repeat the steps above for answers "5" and "6" on Slide 2.
5. Repeat the steps above for answer "4," but this time, link to
the slide titled "That's Right!" immediately after the first
"Oops...!" slide.
6. Go to the slide titled "How many monkeys do you see?" and
link answers "1," "2," and "4" to the second "Oops…!" slide.
7. Link answer "3" to the second "That's Right!" slide.
8. Save your work.
ADD ACTION BUTTONS
To check the work you've done so far, press F6 or go to Slide
Show>View Slide Show. If all the links are correct, clicking a

wrong answer will move you to an "Oops...!" slide. Clicking a
right answer will move you to a "That's Right!" slide. What
happens, however, when a student goes to the "Oops..." slide.
Don't you want the
student to try to answer that question again? Use Action Buttons
to move students back to a question they have answered
incorrectly.
To create an Action Button:
1. Press Esc to close the Slide Show View.
2. Go to the first "Oops..." slide.
3. Click the Insert tab.
4. Click “Shapes” and click the action button arrow pointing
left.
5. In the lower right corner of the slide, click and drag with
your mouse to draw the Action Button as big or as small as you
want.
6. When you finish drawing and release the mouse button, the
Action Settings window will appear. That window allows you to
choose what will happen when an Action Button is clicked.
7. On the "Oops..." slide, you want the button to take a student
back to a question he or she has answered incorrectly. So, click
Hyperlink to: Previous Slide, and then click OK.
8. Repeat the steps above for the second "Oops..." slide.
MORE ACTION BUTTONS
For the two "That's Right!" slides:

1. Click the Insert tab.
2. Click “Shapes” and click the action button arrow pointing
right.
3. In the lower right corner of the slide, click and drag with
your mouse to draw the Action Button as big or as small as you
want.
4. When you finish drawing and release the mouse button, the
Action Settings window will appear.
5. When the Action Settings window opens, click the down
arrow next to the Previous Slide option and select Slide. Then:
1. If students have reached the first "That's Right!" slide,
they've answered the "How many dogs do you see?" question
correctly and are ready to move to the next question.
2. Select the "How many monkeys do you see?" slide and click
OK.
3. If students have reached the second "That's Right!" slide,
they've answered the "How many monkeys do you see?"
question correctly. Select the "Great Job!" slide and click OK.
4. Save your work. Then test your work by viewing the show,
clicking all the answers, and using the action buttons on each
slide!
TIPS AND TRICKS
Add one more Action Button on the last slide. Choose the
button that looks like a little house. That is the Home button
and will return students to the beginning of the quiz.
