In order to complete this task, you must create a recorded oral presentation that outlines the the information from within your technical report and includes a voiceover that elaborates on the information presented on each slide. Helpful Tips to Consider when Designing Your Oral Presentation: Does the presentation include visual cues for enhancing organization and introducing main ideas? Do the presentation slides have a professional appearance? Do the presentation slides have a balanced layout that effectively uses white space and the spaces information across slides? Is formatting used to create a visual hierarchy on the slides? Are points written in short, bulleted phrases? Does the presentation include visual cues for reiterating main points and concluding the presentation? If graphics are included, are they easy to read, and do they enhance the slide? Is the presentation free of spelling and/or punctuation errors? Helpful Tips to Consider when Recording Your Oral Presentation: Did you state your name at the beginning of your talk? Did you state your topic at the beginning of your talk? Was your voice loud enough and well modulated? Was your topic organized? Do you use verbal transitions to connect ideas and/or move to the next point? Did you avoid distracting speech (um, ah, you know)? Did you speak for the requested length of time? ** This assignment should not be written as a traditional academic writing assignment; you should create a document that is intended to mirror tenets of technical writing.
