Major Project – Corrections Slideshow

Due by 11:59 PM, Friday, April 26, 2024

Purpose

The purpose of the slideshow is to convey critical information succinctly. Try to avoid having slides with too many words or bullet points. Shoot for the “Goldilocks spot” (not too hot, not too cold, but just right) with regard to the amount of detail and text. The instructor should be able to see that you have evaluated the material and have obtained some understanding of it. 

While the presentations should be professional in tone, creativity is encouraged.
