Group Project Tips

The group leader will provide one PowerPoint presentation for the entire group, not one presentation per student. The presentation will be divided among the team members in the following way:

• Each individual will contribute 1–2 slides depending on the content.
• Slide(s) should include the name of the team member whom initially prepared and contributed to the PowerPoint Presentation.
• The individual will submit his or her PowerPoint slides to the group along with supporting research sources.

Individuals should submit their portion of the report and the supporting references to a designated team member who will compile the documents into one report that will be submitted.

Project Deliverables:

• PowerPoint presentation and group report.
• Determine any excess income using two separate methods:
  • Net worth analysis
  • Bank deposit method

Your group should include complete analyses and review for each of the above methods. Your presentation should walk through the steps of your analyses and should identify the sources of evidence used for each step.
