PROJECT ASSIGNMENT
INSTRUCTIONS
Rationale:
The purpose of this assignment is to familiarize you with creating an oral presentation utilizing Microsoft PowerPoint while youexplore the ethical implications of the technology used in this course. You must also demonstrate your ability to communicate effectively with your audience.
Complete the following tasks on your ownand submit your work to Blackboard.
Requirements:
1. The general purpose of the presentation is to consider the ethical implications of using software applications to house real data similar to that which you have used in this course. While they should not be your sole source for examples, you must reference the Excel and Access Programs specifically in your presentation.
Questions to consider:
- What responsibility do the creators and users of technology bear in ensuring that truth is conveyed in the use and manipulation of data? How does security factor into these responsibilities?
- Discuss the balance between absolute truth and using data to reach a particular goal.
- How does this topic relate to your conduct as a student and in a real-world setting?
Use a biblical worldview to support your ideas and include at least 3 academic sources.
2. Use the recording features in PowerPoint and your microphone to record your oral presentation. State your name, the course, and the date of the recording at the start of the recording. Your presentation will be 5-8 minutes in length, taking the audience through your entire PowerPoint. As you will be doing a good bit of talking, the slides themselves should favor bullet points and short statements over longer paragraphs, but your message must be clear. You may use notes to assist you, but do not read word-for-word from the notes. This tends to be obvious to the audience and makes for a less compelling presentation.
3. Required Slide Elements:
- A title for each slide
- A unified theme
- Slide transitions
- Subtle slide animations appropriate for a business/academic environment
- At least one SmartArt diagram
- At least one chart using the Insert Chart feature within PowerPoint. You are welcome to include charts from outside sources, properly cited, but ensure that at least one is of your own making.
4. Proofread your slides carefully for errors in spelling and grammar. Overall appearance counts. Consider how you can go beyond the project instructions to create an effective and visually pleasing presentation.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also Include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
