Using PowerPoint

[Based on the assessment I did at the beginning of the semester, most of you
are already fluent / partially fluent in using PowerPoint]

Instructions for the Assignment

        I want you to create a 7 slide presentation on the topic of your choice.
I will show you some samples of what I received previously to give you 
some ideas. If you have to do a presentation for another class, by all means 
use this opportunity to create your PowerPoint for it in advance.

        You may use any of the features on PowerPoint, and there are plenty of
them. You can be as simple or as fancy as you wish. Remember that PowerPoint is a tool,
not the presentation itself. What I will be evaluating is the clearness of the slides,
their progression and the totality of the presentation (i.e. how "nice" the slides look
and do they make sense to someone viewing them). The first slide must contain
your name, section and the title of the presentation. You must cite all sources you
use in your presentation and include the citations on a slide. The assignment is
tentatively due on Friday October 9th at midnight, but I will be flexible on the due date.
Please send your presentations to me as an attachment in an email.
