PPT Homework
Overview:
For this homework, you will create a professional-looking PowerPoint presentation on an operations management topic covered in this course. The scenario is that your supervisor has assigned you the task of presenting a 30-minute training session on this topic. You need to research your topic and prepare an engaging PowerPoint that would be used as a visual aid in for your presentation.
Topic Ideas
The course textbook will be a great resource when looking for a topic that relates to some aspect of operations management. Some examples of topics include (but are not limited to):
o How to deploy a successful quality improvement program
o Tips to effective demand forecasting
o How to create a meaningful and impactful mission statement
o What are the keys to successful project management
It is recommended that you pick a topic of interest and then do some research to make sure you can find five credible sources - more about credible sources below. Once you are certain you can locate five credible sources, begin creating your PowerPoint presentation.
Instructions:
• Title Slide
o This will be the first slide of your PowerPoint (and is NOT considered a content slide).
o This slide will include the following: title of your presentation, your full name, class name & section number, and your institution (Liberty University).
• Content Slides
o A minimum of 10 content slides must be included.
o All content slides must contain speaker notes.
- Speaker notes are a presenter's "cheat sheet", if you will. In other words, speaker notes are hidden from your audience, but you are able to view them while presenting.
- Speaker notes are NOT a copy of the information on your slide. Instead, speaker notes expand upon and/or offer further clarification regarding points on each slide.
- To add speaker notes, go to the Notes pane under the slide where you will see, "Click to add notes".
• Reference Slide
o This slide will be the last slide(s) of your PowerPoint (and is NOT considered a content slide).
o This slide (or slides) will contain all sources used in your PowerPoint presentation.
Format your homework according to the following formatting requirements:
o The answer should be typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), double spaced, with one-inch margins on all sides.
o The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the homework, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
o Also include a reference page. The Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
