Business Issue - The Coursera certificate for completion

A1: Business Issue/Topic - Ted Talk

You will need to find a business topic or issue of your choosing to craft a 5-10 minute, Ted Talk style, presentation.

A slide deck must accompany your presentation.

The Coursera certificate for completion of Successful Presentation is required. No certificate = 10% grade deduction.

You will need to also provide a 500-1000 word paper that details the structure of your presentation and the in-text (APA) cited elements of the course that you have integrated. It is highly recommended that you break this into 3 topics of storytelling, logic/evidence, and body language elements (you will likely need to finish writing this after you have filmed your presentation). I expect to read evidence of where you note specific elements of the course and where you are exhibiting the skills in presenting and presentation deck crafting (e.g. At the six-minute mark, I make X gesture to illustrate Y, but also to communicate Z (citation)). This provides an analytical outline of your presentation and demonstrates your understanding and integration of course content. If you do not write out what/why you have done something, then it will be assumed that you did not do something consciously, even if done well, and you will only receive partial credit.

Pro Tip: Integrate the Coursera presentation content, in addition to the course readings, into your write up.

Be sure to also include details of who your intended audience is.

Your deliverables are 4 items:

1. Video
2. Slide Deck
3. Analytical Report
4. Coursera Certificate from Successful Presentations
