The audience for your presentation is your peers and the go al of the presentation is to convince your audience that your communications will best address the problem you identified in the case study. Introduce the problem your communications are going to address, and use the following sections of your final projec t to persuade your peers:  Goals  Justification  Types of internal and external communications  Mediums for both communications  Target audiences and cultural considerations  Potential sources of conflict  Alignment with mission, vision, and goals  Measurement: internal and external Note: Although all of this information will be derived from the work you h ave done for your final project; be sure to revise the content for the purpose of the presentation and do not simply copy and paste.

In response to your peers ’ presentation s, provid e feedback on the following elements:  Appropriateness of the presentation for audience and assignment  Clarity of text and narration  Tone  Support and details  Organization and transition  Design and layout contributed to the effectiveness of the presentation (i.e., few or no distracting elements) In addition, respond to the following questions:  What was done particularly well?  What is one suggestion you have for future presentations?  Did you learn something new from your peer ’s presentation or fin d anything particularly helpful or interesting? Principles of an Effective Presentation :  You may u se a product such as Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides , or Prezi to create your presentations.  There are various template designs that you can find for y our presentation on the internet . However, consider your presentation from the perspective of your audience prior to selecting a specific style. Distracting backgrounds, large blocks of text, all uppercase fonts, elaborate font styles, grammatical errors, and misspellings are distracting. Be consistent with the style of text, bullets, and sub -points in order to support a powerful presentation that allows your content to be the focus.  Each slid e should include your key points . Do not place large blocks of te xt on the visual. Your presentation is not a means of presenting a short paper. In an actual presentation , you would not read from your slides but rather use them as prompts.  Any notes or narration you would use in delivering this presentation to a group should be listed in the Notes section of the slide.  References should be listed at the bottom of the slide in slightly smaller text.  Use clip art, AutoShapes, pictures, charts, tables, and diagrams to enhance but not overwhelm your content.  Be mindful of the intended audience and seek to assess the presentation’s effectiveness by gauging audience comprehension (when possible).
