Task
This is a group presentation. Each group will consist of four students. Groups can formed by the lecturer or by the students
themselves. Each group will select a topic from the topic list provided below. Inform your lecturer about the topic you
selected at least a week before your presentation date.
The presentation is meant to be brief (10 minutes), but formal -- demonstrating skills in presenting to a business or
management audience. It should concisely and effectively convey the theme of the topic for an audience that does not have
any special expertise in your chosen topic. Each student should employ the best techniques they find available to reach
their audience.
Each presentation must include:
• 10 minutes of presentation time
• Visual aids, such as presentation software like PowerPoint, Prezi, Keynote, PowToon etc.
• Participation in roughly equal measure by each group member
• Well-supported argument interpreting the significance of the topic presented
• APA (6th version) referencing style
• Succinct presentation of in-depth research of the topic
• Attention to questions raised by audience about any subject matter of the topic
Guidelines for Presentations
Equal Participation
Each team member should contribute equally. Teams will compile a list of major areas to be covered in their presentation,
and assign one to each member to research and present. Each member should speak for approximately two and a half

team leader. This person will be responsible for introducing the presentation as a whole, and each presenter. The team
leader will also summarize the presentation at its conclusion, and lead a class discussion.
Format
Some students may elect to use PowerPoint. There are numerous types of presentation software available, and a group
may use any one of them.

2 Read over your notes, and think over the results of your reading.
3 Discuss your results with your team members. Tentatively plan the presentation in its general outline.
4 On your own again, and setting notes aside, brainstorm and write down all the interesting ideas that you have come
up with.
5 Organise these ideas into a coherent sequence. Return to your notes and add any information relevant to your major
ideas which will illustrate or explain them.
6 Add an introduction, which tells what you will talk about, and a conclusion which sums up what you have discussed
and learned. Cut out any irrelevant or uninteresting materials.
7 Meet with your team members to organize and streamline the pres ...

communication skills and further develop understanding about
the impact of non-verbal communication. The planning

as a whole, team members should notify the lecturer before
the date of the presentation if any member does not do their
share.
