Why a presentation?
Presentations are useful methods of sharing important information, and are common formats used when training your audience how to do a specific task. Likewise, employers often seek individuals with presentations skills, as they can be trusted to communicate effectively. This assignment gives you an opportunity to practice giving a presentation, and also create a guide that future students of this course can use!
The Assignment
Using the storyboard from the discussion this week (and any helpful peer-feedback,) create a How-To Presentation that teaches how to complete any assignment you’ve done so far in this class. This can be a general guide on how to do an entire assignment, or merely a portion of one (such as how to format APA-style citations, or methods to make sure you get your discussion board posts in on time). Try to choose a task that can be completed effectively in 5-10 steps, as longer instructions might get overwhelming.
