Here are my recommendations on recording your presentation: Recommendations for Pre-Recorded Presentations.docx Here are my guidelines on preparing your oral presentation: HN450: Honors Program Research Seminar—Oral Presentation Guidelines Your oral presentation should be 10 minutes in length—no shorter or longer. When preparing your speech, be sure to include the following: · Introduce yourself and come up with an attention-getting introduction. Feel free to involve the audience into your presentation at the beginning (or at any point). · Provide a brief outline of what your presentation will cover (agenda or outline slide) · Give the presentation itself with all the details, which include: o Statement of the Problem your research is exploring o Overview of most important key points of Literature Review o Discussion of your methodology—give good details because you need to justify why this study would be done · Conclude thoughtfully. Here you should end strongly, being an advocate for your proposed study · Ask the audience if there are questions Tips for the presentation: - You should include the following from Chapter 1: Problem Statement and Purpose Statement - Include only the most important points from Chapter 2 – it will be tempting to include lots from your secondary research, but limit yourself to no more than 2-3 minutes here - From Chapter 3, you should emphasize ALL the parts—this is what you are “selling” to the audience; be sure to focus on methods because the audience will determine if your proposal is “approved” or not You must have a PowerPoint presentation for this speech; you may also create a Prezi ( There is no particular number of slides you must have, but you should create a PowerPoint that observes the following rules and guidelines: · Use high quality photos · Don’t make the slides too “busy” with elaborate shapes, designs, and pictures · Don’t try to dazzle the audience with lots of different colors · Keep the words on your slide brief and to a minimum. o Don’t have more than five or six lines of type o Don’t have more than six or seven words in each line o Don’t use more than four or five bullet points o Don’t write all words in capital letters o Don’t use too many different fonts Be sure to have the following slides in your presentation: · Title slide: Include presentation name, your name, class name, instructor name · Outline slide: Give a brief outline of what your presentation will cover in bullet points · Body slides: These slides should have headings that describe what your current point is with bullet points and/or photographs to orient the reader · Conclusion slide: Sum up your presentation · Sources slide: Cite the sources of your information for your presentation --- You should be prepared to give this presentation beforehand. You should also rehearse. Be sure to bring your notes with you the day of the presentation. Your purpose is to inform your audience about your personal project for this semester. Your audience for this speech is your instructor and classmates. Pretend that your audience doesn’t know anything (even if you think they might). This will help you be as descriptive as possible. During your presentation, you will be put in Presenter mode, so you can navigate your own slides. You should also be sure that you have a working microphone and camera--you will be asked to be on camera for your presentation. Here is a template you can use to prepare your slides: Final Presentation Slide Template.pptx

Paper For Above instruction

The process of submitting a prerecorded final presentation requires careful preparation, technical readiness, and effective communication skills. The assignment is to create a 10-minute video of an oral presentation that covers essential aspects of a research project for the Honors Program Research Seminar. The presentation must be uploaded to the designated drop box as an MP4 file with sharing permissions enabled, or a link should be provided (e.g., via YouTube or a cloud service). This task involves not only recording the speech but also creating a visually compelling PowerPoint presentation that aligns with academic standards and facilitates clear communication of the research content.

Structurally, the presentation should begin with a strong introduction that captures attention and introduces the presenter. An outline slide should follow, offering a roadmap of the key points that will be discussed. The main body of the presentation should be organized into three core sections corresponding to the research project: the problem statement and purpose (Chapter 1), key points from the literature review (Chapter 2), and the methodology (Chapter 3). Emphasizing methodology is crucial, as the audience’s perception will influence approval decisions. A detailed discussion of the research approach and justification should be included to demonstrate rigor and feasibility.

The conclusion should be impactful, summarizing the main points and advocating for the study’s value. It should also invite questions from the audience, fostering engagement. To support the presentation visually, the PowerPoint slides should adhere to best practices. Slides should be simple, with minimal text—no more than six lines per slide and six words per line—and should avoid excessive colors or complex graphics. High-quality images can enhance understanding but should not clutter the slide. Essential slides include a title slide, an outline slide, several body slides with clear headings, a conclusion slide, and a sources slide citing all references used in the presentation.

Preparation involves rehearsing the delivery, ensuring familiarity with the slides, and testing audio and video equipment. Speakers should bring notes but aim for a natural, engaging delivery. During the presentation, the speaker will be in presenter mode, controlling slide navigation. Embodying clarity, confidence, and professionalism in both speech and visuals is critical for effectively communicating the research proposal.
