PowerPoint Presentation Assignment

 

POWERPOINT PRESENTATION ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW

For this assignment, you will create a professional-looking PowerPoint presentation on an
operations management topic covered in this course. The scenario is that your supervisor has
assigned you the task of presenting a 30-minute training session on this topic. You need to
research your topic and prepare an engaging PowerPoint that would be used as a visual aid for
your presentation.
Topic Ideas
The course textbook will be a great resource when looking for a topic that relates to some aspect
of operations management. Some examples of topics include (but are not limited to):
 How to deploy a successful quality improvement program
 Tips to effective demand forecasting
 How to create a meaningful and impactful mission statement
 What the keys to successful project management are
It is recommended that you pick a topic of interest and then do some research to make sure you
can find five credible sources – more about credible sources below. Once you are certain you can
locate five credible sources, begin creating your PowerPoint presentation.
INSTRUCTIONS
PowerPoint Requirements:
I. Title Slide
 This will be the first slide of your PowerPoint (and is NOT considered a content slide).
 This slide will include the following: title of your presentation, your full name, class
name & section number, and your institution (Liberty University).
II. Content Slides
 A minimum of 10 content slides must be included.
 All content slides must contain speaker notes.
 Speaker notes are a presenter’s “cheat sheet” if you will. In other words, speaker notes
are hidden from your audience, but you are able to view them while presenting.
 Speaker notes are NOT a copy of the information on your slide. Instead, speaker notes
expand upon and/or offer further clarification regarding points on each slide.
o To add speaker notes, go to the Notes pane under the slide where you will see
“Click to add notes”.  
III. Reference Slide
 This slide will be the last slide(s) of your PowerPoint (and is NOT considered a content
slide).
 This slide (or slides) will contain all sources used in your PowerPoint presentation.
 Sources must be formatted according to current APA formatting guidelines.

 In addition to current APA formatting guidelines, the inclusion of the complete URL
(sometimes called a permalink) is required for all full-text, peer-reviewed/scholarly
articles retrieved from Liberty’s online library journal database. Note that this is not the
same as the doi #. The URL must take your reader directly to the full text article within
Liberty’s online library journal database. If you’re unsure about the specific URL/link,
you can copy the entire web address from the top of the browser’s address bar once you
are viewing the full text article within Liberty’s online library journal database.

within the last 7 years.
