Case Study Part 3 - MS Powerpoint Executive Presentation
For a review of the complete rubric used in grading this exercise, click on the Assignments tab, then on the title Case Study Part 3 - Exec Presentation (Powerpoint)- click on Show Rubrics if the rubric is not already displayed.
To the maximum extent possible, utilize the rule of 7's - no more than seven bullets per slide, and no more than seven words per bullet.
The details of the hardware and software solution need to be in the slides.
The purpose of this presentation is to present the hardware and software solution for a decision. For example, make and model of hardware and short description should be in the slide but be brief and in bullet format. The speaker notes are for amplification. Slides with Speaker notes should contain at least four complete sentences (in the notes section) each. Think of the speaker notes as what you would actually say during the presentation. Also, if someone wants to review the presentation later, the speaker notes will provide sufficient information for the reader to understand what you presented.
The summary MUST link the proposed solution to the requirements.
Create a presentation to outline your proposal to meet the case study requirements. Identify the purpose and audience (the Director) for your presentation.
