• The presentation should be no more than 15-20 minutes in recorded length.
• The presentation should contain appropriate evidence to support the information presented in APA format.
• The presentation slides should be used as cues to topics and key concepts without lengthy sentences and paragraphs- reading information from slides is not professional and therefore not acceptable.
• Students need to demonstrate understanding and mastery of content via discussion style presentation.
