Assignment: Select a specific topic learned in this course and create a PowerPoint presentation on that topic.

Project requirements:

$1)$ Combine research and images to explain your topic.

$2)$ The presentation must be visually appealing and content rich, which means it must include relevant images and factual, well researched, credible information.

$3)$ The PowerPoint must be a total of $15$ slides.

$4)$ The first slide must list the specific project topic, the student$$s name and course$/$section number.

$5)$ The next ten slides must introduce, develop, and conclude the topic.

$6)$ The next $3$ slides $($slides $12,13,14)$ will focus on Marketable Skills. Students must review the content in the Marketable Skills tab to identify the skills within the Core Objectives of Critical Thinking, Teamwork, and Social Responsibility. Select and discuss any $2$ skills in each of the three $(3)$ core objectives that you think you have demonstrated while doing this assignment. $($One Core Objective with $2$ Marketable Skills per slide $=$ total of $3$ slides on Marketable Skills$).$

$7)$ Slide $15,$ the last slide, must list all the sources that are used for the project. Expect to use about $5-10$ sources.

$8)$ Students must review and respond to FOUR classmates' projects and provide peer reviews on ways to improve the project, as well as to confirm the strengths of the project. The peer review must focus on how the project reflects the topic.
