This document outlines the key points from a lesson on delivering clear and concise presentations. It recommends focusing on one key takeaway per slide, limiting text, and using graphics. A sample presentation is provided on California being voted the best state, with fictional survey data showing most picked it for its climate, economy and education. Discussion exercises ask participants to make arguments more concise in 3-4 sentences focusing on the key takeaway.

Persuasive Speech
This is the final major speech and provides the opportunity to demonstrate all you have learned this
semester in a grand masterpiece. This assignment is worth more points than any other assignment in the course
and is the longest speech you will give in the class.
For this presentation, you are to deliver a FIVE TO SEVEN minute speech that you expect will change
your audience members’ beliefs, attitudes, values, and/or behaviors. You want to have an effect on your
audience members’ lives. Please take this responsibility seriously! Matters of ethics are important in every type
of speaking, especially when attempting to persuade your audience.
You have a choice in this speech between attempting to changing people’s thoughts (which are beliefs,
attitudes, and values) or their behaviors. Keep in mind that beliefs, attitudes, and values affect a person’s
behavior. While the two goals may overlap (i.e. you may have to change a person’s perceptions to change their
behaviors) they can be separate. For example, few people doubt the safety benefits of wearing a seatbelt. So, if
you were to try to change the behavior of non-seatbelt-wearers you would not need to change many beliefs
about safety. However, you could deliver a speech convincing people that Columbus was not the first European
to find North America without expecting people to change any of their behaviors. Moreover, many speeches
will incorporate both perceptual and behavioral changes. A successful speech persuading people that we need to
protect our environment more carefully ought to result not only in changed perceptions but also in changed
actions.
Overview
In this speech, you are asked to put together all that you have learned in the past semester. Therefore,
everything is important! The new areas of focus are your delivery skills, application of persuasive methods,
persuasive theories, logical reasoning, and motivational techniques.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

13Fictional data
l A majority (52%) of respondents selected California as the best state.
l The runners-up were Texas (23%), New York (10%), and Florida (5%).
o This is interesting because California, Texas, New York, and Florida are
some of the largest states by population in the U.S.
o It would be interesting to know if these results simply represent the
populations of each state.
l The least frequently mentioned states were Delaware (0.01%), Iowa (0.02%),
Nebraska (0.02%), Oklahoma (0.1%), and North Dakota (0.1%).
o These states have very small populations so it is not surprising that they
didn’t receive many votes.
l Massachusetts received the most votes in the New England region of the
country, while Illinois received the most votes in the Mid-West region.
l Washington received the most votes in the Pacific Northwest region.
l Every state received at least 1 vote.
