Presentations and Pictures

Presentations

Ensure slides are clear, concise, easy to read, and cover all requirements for the assignment. The title page must contain the same information as a title page for a paper. See above for specific information required. The slides that make up the body of the paper can be formatted as is appropriate for the assignment. If a picture or citation source is used, cite in the same method as in a paper. A reference page is a final slide for any research-based presentation. It would be set up in APA style. the word Reference would be bolded and centered as the title of the slide. The font size will depend on how many references are used. Two slides may be necessary depending on the number of references. See the assignment rubric for more information on grading.
