Approximately 20 slide PowerPoint (final to include initial findings, interview detail, additional research, conclusions.Remember: This is an expansion of the Initial PowerPoint presentation, which is attached. Presentation Guidelines (for PowerPoint Presentations)Be sure you have an introduction, an analysis and a conclusion even though this is a presentation and not a paper. The following describes how presentations will be graded. The questions and comments below are designed for you to read and consider before you finalize your presentation. Use APA in your PowerPoints and cite your sources and Wikipedia is still not a source), and have at least three citations. Your presentations will answer the following issues (not necessarily in this order).• Does your presentation answer each of the questions assigned with your country of choice? Does your presentation represent all the data collected during the course related to your country of choice?• Does your PowerPoint look professional (is it approximately 20 slides, APA, referenced, and interesting to the eye?)• Think deeply about not giving a book report – but offering new and interesting information on how your assigned company connects with the material we have covered in class (discussions, videos, website, web alerts, and the Hill text book).Does you presentation have a clear beginning, middle and end? Introduction (20%)Does the introduction explain what the presentation is about? Does it give a quick overview of your main points? It is creative? Is it interesting? Do you have a hypothesis? Analysis (40%)Does the presentation have three to five main points that are supported by references in the text with page numbers of analyzing all of the questions that were given to you with the organization?Does the analysis connect to your introduction and conclusion and the “heart of your hypothesis? Conclusion (20%)Is the conclusion a clear and concise recap of the analysis?The conclusion cannot bring in any new ideas!Does the conclusion tie into the first two or three sentences in thought?Do you explain one more time your hypothesis?Process, Punctuation and Grammar (20%)Are all of the words on the Power Point spelled correctly?Are the correct words used?Is the wording smooth to read?Is proper grammar used?Does the presentation follow APA Guidelines?Are the presentation and the handout interesting?Did you know your audience?Did you keep your reader engaged? Instructions: This is to be a professional PowerPoint presentation, so you must cite the text giving page numbers and following proper APA format.

You are to explain the value of your innovation, who will benefit and explain the ROI. The final page of the PowerPoint is a Reference Page (using APA citation rules).

 Be sure to use the attachment reading to answer these questionsHere is the link to another source: Be sure use the Chapter 12 There are many inter-connections between the design forms, materials, concepts, etc. we covered in class, and many ways you could restate, in your own words, how they all weave together. Use the questions below to suggest the full range of these connections – but don’t let the particular order of “shape” of these questions get in the way of organizing the material in the way that you can do it best. For example, if you wanted to answer both of the questions below in one essay, organized differently perhaps, you could certainly do so. However it seems to make the most sense to you to organize all of what you learned. And do check out the reading, it will help. 1. Compare the cities of Teotihuacan and Tikal in terms of a) the in which each is situated, and its impact on morphology, composition/layout, and materiality of architectural forms and the city over all; b) the ways in which these two societies’ about life and the universe are represented or involved in design forms or their organization in each case (remember the link to symbolism and/or conceptual representation in each); c) any general in architectural form or detail and what might explain (or correlate with) these differences; d) the for which the most prominent and important structures, the temple-pyramids, were made;  2. What is the we identified (and which you were shown samples of in class) for each culture; whatwas it used for; and give an example of its practical (economic, technological, etc.) value to the society? Whatdoes the way they used (and shaped) these materials – in each case – say about the two societies and theirbeliefs, way of life or signature design forms/stylistic identity? Can you relate the products they made with thesematerials to key forms seen in art, architecture, architectural detail or ornament, or writing forms? Can you relatethem to the two symbolic forms we covered in the last class (butterfly and scroll)?  

Annotated Bibliography: Topic (Chosen from the list provided) [Name] South University Online [Template instructions: Replace the information in red with your work-then delete this line] 2 Annotated Bibliography: Topic (Chosen from the list provided) [APA formatted reference for source (list in alphabetical order) using a hanging indent] [Underneath the reference, give a summary of the article then an analysis: Summary of article: 1-2 paragraphs that describe the following information in your own words in paragraph format (not bullet points). • Why the article was written? • What are the major points of the article? • If the article was a study, describe: o The methods used in the research: Include the participants, how the research question(s) was tested or measured (e.g. survey, interview, formal testing…) o The results of the study: What did the researchers find out? o The conclusions: What did the researchers conclude from the study? What were the limitations of the research? NOTE: The article doesn’t need to be cited in the body of the annotated bibliography because it is referenced in the beginning of the review. For any other sources used (e.g. the text) you would cite as you normally do and list them in the reference section. [Analysis of the article: 1-2 paragraphs describing the following: Whether or not the points made by the author are logical and supported by evidence and whether the author demonstrates any bias in presenting the arguments. Were other arguments or possibilities considered? Are the author’s conclusions supported? Do they fit with your understanding of the topic and your textbook’s description (cite the textbook and any other sources you use for analyzing your article – include any additional sources you cite as part of your analysis in your reference list)? Why or why not (provide support for your opinion)?] 3 Example of formatting: Boonstra, A., & Broekhuis, M. (2010).

(Consulting Proposal 2). Each proposal must be 1000–1500 words and include at least the following 5 sections:1. Definition of project 2. Diagnosis of current situation 3. Recommendations 4. Implementation plan 5. SummaryA sample/template for the proposals is provided in the Assignment Instructions folder. Each proposal must include a title and reference page formatted according to current APA requirements. You must use a minimum of 4 scholarly peer-reviewed sources plus the text. Write the proposal as if you are addressing the CEO or organizational leadership as identified in the selected case study. The overall narrative in the proposal must include significant emphasis on diagnosing the problems in the business with recommendations for relevant change. These recommendations must be supported with specific examples or sources.  For example:• If the organization needs to change its recruitment strategy or perhaps offer new products, what specific types of change are involved?• Will the employees be affected? If so, what type of employees?• How should the recommended changes be implemented?• Are there drivers of the change that will determine the success of the change initiative? If so, what are they?Keep in mind that the proposal is an overview of the current situation, needed changes, and recommendations; therefore, it is important to refrain from providing too much detail. However, the proposal must contain enough information for the CEO to select a course of action. Because the person receiving your proposal is the CEO, there is no need to re-state information in the case study as he/she should already be aware of the current situation.You are encouraged to integrate information from any of the Reading & Study materials or your own experience. These prompts are provided to support your analysis and critical thinking as you read the cases and to give you some structure if you select one of these for your proposalTOPICS TO CHOICE FROMWellcome IsraelDonna Dubinsky  and Apple Computer IncEmilio Kornau

         I know that I am not alone as a professor in stating this topic is one of my biggest frustrations as a professor!! This is becoming increasingly true as more & more students use the internet to obtain sources for their class papers. Not using appropriate references can also be a reason for losing points on an otherwise well written paper        Recently, I have received many papers with not only had some sources which were not scholarly, but had no sources which were scholarly! Frequently, this occurs when students do not take the proper time to plan for a paper. I was a pretty good procrastinator while I was in graduate school the first time. However, I always made sure that I had my resources well in advance. Then I was able to procrastinate writing the project and still write a good paper (though not as good as if I had not procrastinated at all). If you wait to the last minute, you will frequently not be able to find enough scholarly resources.        For most professors, a minimum of 8 sources from outside of class is typical for a scholarly paper. While this shouldn’t be difficult to obtain, even if you only have access to a educational library with minimal resources, you will need to allow for time to track these sources down. One good prefatory rule of thumb: If you are not sure if a source is scholarly,           The best place to find scholarly resources is through at college, university, medical library or other educational library. Most public libraries do not contain many scholarly references and those which are available are not as likely to be up-to-date. Academic libraries are designed to meet the needs of scholars making this is the best place to look. Generally, you’ll save time by driving a little further to a scholarly library instead of searching a public library with limited resources.        School library are increasingly providing many good, scholarly resources through the web. Generally, these are accessible through your home computer with a password. When you start at a new school, it is good to quickly become familiar with these resources. It will save you time and frustration.        In general, most scholarly resources are not available for free. If you find a free web resource, then you may want to do some double checking to make sure it’s scholarly. Your school generally pays a substantial amount of money for you, your professors, and other students to have access to these online resources. This is why they are password protected.          Rarely are magazine scholarly. If you can find the periodical at your local Barnes and Noble, it’s probably intended for a more lay audience. If you are unsure you may want to take into consideration the peer review and intended audience factor discussed below.        There are some interesting exceptions, though. Some professional organizations provide newsletters or magazine style publications which are scholarly. The most common example is the . Another is the magazine of the Association for Humanistic Psychology ( to see AHP on the web for an example). While these may be considered scholarly, you still want to use them sparingly. These are articles “in brief” and generally are not as in depth as a journal article. If you rely too much on these your professor will become suspicious that you may be trying to avoid doing the work of the paper. (Wilmington University Professors)
