Further Specifications
Length and Content 50 points: title slide, introductory slide that provides the topic and talking points; 3 body slides, each with 5 complete sentences; concluding slide that ties it all together; bibliography slide with images listed separately
Sources 30 points: For the written content, use a minimum of 2 college-level sources beyond our course materials to inform your research as defined in the Sources Requirements for Our Class attached to these directions and located in the Week 1 Content. Please read these directives in full. The short version is: use only academic books or peer-reviewed academic journal articles. Do not use any type of reference materials even if they are in books, such as encyclopedias, dictionaries, or Credo Reference. Do not use any other type of article other than peer-reviewed academic journal articles. Do not use book reviews, magazines, or student work (which includes theses or dissertations). No sources should be used in the paper that do not conform to these criteria. Be sure to show use of both of the outside sources, citing them at the point of use. Every body slide should include the sources used to create that slide. The criteria for images is not as rigorous: a minimum of three images is required but you are free to take images from any credible source, even lower-tier ones such as Wikimedia Commons.
Presentation Style and Citation 20 points: formal, correct and grammatically correct English: no slang, hyperbole, first or second person, or references to our class or the directions. Use objective language. Visuals and any audio are smoothly integrated; proper citation of all sources in either CMS, APA, or MLA format; any quoted material on a slide should be surrounded by quotation marks and all sources need citation in two places, both at the point of use–each body slide should include its own citation—and at the end: all sources should also be listed at the end in the proper format, in ABC order by author’s last name (or by title if there is no author); images should be listed separately on the bibliography slide.
