P a g e | 1 Informative Presentation, Outline (with APA References) Assignment - Purpose: To demonstrate your ability to (1) apply the three-step process to preparing and presenting a presentation, (2) conduct research to provide credible information, (3) demonstrate critical thinking, (4) organize your thoughts in a logical and appropriately formatted outline, (5) attribute sources using APA citations, (6) create Power Point slides to illustrate and reinforce the presentation's concepts (but are not the presentation!), and (7) deliver a presentation conversationally (without reading from notes or slides) that conveys clear ideas and provides the audience with ethical information. This assignment links to course objectives 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, & 10. Type of Assignment and Weight: These assignments (the presentation [including visuals slides +] and the outline with APA references) receive separate grades. Each assignment is worth 100 points: The presentation carries a weight of 10%, and the outline with APA references carries a weight of 10%. Audience: Career-focused junior and senior level business students attending Florida Atlantic University Your Role: Assume that you have been working for five years (so, you are still a lower- or mid- level employeeNOT the president or CEO!) You work for a firm, company, or organization that prizes community service. As part of your annual performance review, you are evaluated on the community service you provide. In response, you have become an active member of a professional association related to your field (e.g., the Florida Institute of CPAs [FICPA], South Florida Association for Financial Professionals [SFAFP], American Marketing Association [AMA], National Human Resources Association [NHRA], South Florida Hospital and Healthcare Association [SFHHA], South Florida Technology Alliance [SFTA]), or the like). You do not represent these professional associations, but you are a member and sharing the organization names with your audience for their information. (1) Tell the audience how long you have been working for the company and where you have been employed (establishes credibility). (2) Since you serve on both the Education and the Career Opportunities committees, you are the perfect person to present the career opportunities in your field at the Careers in Business Showcase sponsored by Florida Atlantic University's College of Business. This formal event includes presentations from various professional associations and networking sessions with local business professionals. You are representing your "company" and informing the audience about your career and two others in the field close to your career. Assignment: Develop a 5-to-7-minute presentation covering the following information: 1.Career opportunities for diverse people earning a degree in your field (accounting, finance, economics, management, marketing, or information technology). Briefly describe three careers someone with a [you fill in the degree] could Please read all the directions carefully and take notes, highlight the two parts provided.

P a g e | 2 pursue (within your career activities). 2. A comparison of these three careers in terms of a. Qualifications (degrees, licenses, etc.) b. Lifestyle requirements (work hours, travel, etc.) c. Salary d. Availability and location Go beyond presenting informationapply critical thinking in terms of selecting diverse careers that appeal to people with different personalities and values. Be prepared to answer questions at the end of your presentation. Part 1: The Outline + APA Citations Follow and use the provided outline template. Research writing APA style outlines formatting and requirements. The FAU Lib Guides are excellent sources for APA style, researching the FAU Data Bases, and the Center for Excellence in Writing for editing and applying proper formatting. https://libguides.fau.edu/APABootCamp You will be using the direct approach on your outline since your audience is interested in what you have to say. Given that the presentation is only 5- 7 minutes, you'll need to follow this sequence: (1) briefly introduce yourself and establish your credibility, (2) quickly gain the audience's attention; (3) preview the key points you'll cover; (4) provide support for each point (e.g., facts, statistics, authoritative quotes); and (5) end by summarizing the key points and leaving the audience with a memorable impression of what you communicated. The outline is your roadmap to the presentation. It is designed to organize what you will present. Remember that when you are in a business environment, if you are allotted seven minutes, it is not acceptable to provide a 15-minute presentation. During your practice sessions, record yourself speaking and if the speech is longer than seven minutes, adjust your outline so that you provide no less than 5 and no more than 7 minutes. Before you are ready to create your outline, you will need to find your information. The FAU library has excellent resources available to you.

P a g e | 3 Save your files as Word documents. Do not submit your final outlines as PDFs. Share your work for another set-of-eyes including your peer group. The Center for Excellence in Writing are here to assist you. You will be graded on what you submit, and you will only have one opportunity to submit your work. Therefore, the more "eyes-on," the results. These can be peer reviews in addition to a counselor from the Center. http://www.fau.edu/UCEW/ Name your revised file your last name.IPO.Final (e.g., Grunfeld.IPO.Final).

At the conclusion of your presentation, introduce a couple of questions that the audience might ask and respond to those questions accordingly. Anticipate questions from your audience. Respond to two questions that a friend or family member would ask after seeing your presentation. Use uncluttered (slides) visuals that illustrate and reinforce the concepts you are presenting rather than repeat themthink tables, graphs, maps, models, flow charts, examples, and the like (see the text examples provided). Review the effective Power Point requirements. Your slides must be synchronized with your presentation. Show only the slides which match your presentation when developing a specific point. Do not stop your video and re-start it with edits. The video presentation should be one seamless presentation without stopping and starting at various points. Points will be deducted if you submit an edited video. Speak fluently (minimal filler words, e.g., ah, um, ok, like, you know); project your voice; use vocal inflection that demonstrates interest, emphasizes key points, and differentiates one idea from another. Do not sit in front of your laptop computer and provide the speech. The background should be a wall without distractions. Move the chirping bird, meowing cat or barking dog to another room when presenting. Stop the circulating fan and check your lighting. All distractions should be eliminated. Use gestures and bodily actions that naturally reinforce and illustrate what you are saying and project confidence. Establish direct eye contact with the (camera lens) audience throughout the presentation (minimally glancing at notes or visuals).

If the audience cannot hear your presentation, it will be reviewed accordingly. Grading: For all assignments, refer to the syllabus grading criteria as well as the rubrics provided.
