GUIDELINE FOR THE FINAL PRESENTATION

 

N215, W99

I would like to give you tips and guidance for your presentation.

First and most importantly, you are going to present your group project, not about your assigned paper.

You developed your research question and wrote a concise abstract. You present this project to your class and you will use PowerPoint to make the visual aids. Critique on the assigned paper will be a part of "Background literature review." During introduction, you need to convince the audience why your study is necessary and important from nursing or public health perspectives. Also you need to elucidate what are the variables of interest.

I would like to show you the components of a research report. I also show you examples of power point presentations along with this guideline. All components listed below are explained during my lectures.
