PowerPoint Slide Deck Each student will prepare a 5–7 Slide PowerPoint Presentation Deck (an example will be provided on Blackboard) on a current event or area of interest in the field of management information systems. For additional presentation ideas explore the “Projects” section at the end of each chapter (it’s in a block on the yellow end page). I highly encourage you to use graphics, but not too much. One key to a well-formed presentation is to NOT put too many words on the slides. You can use the Notes section of the slide deck to convey more information. Just ask if you have any questions.

Forms of academic dishonesty include, but are not limited to cheating, plagiarism, counterfeit work, falsification of academic record, unauthorized reuse of work, theft, collusion.
