Week 6 Discussion

Using Surveys to Craft Presentations

This week you will begin working on a persuasive presentation that will be due in Week 8. The scenario is as follows. You have been asked to make a presentation at work on a topic you are knowledgeable and passionate about. In Chapter 11 of our textbook on page 265, there is a list of over 50 topics you may wish to choose from. In addition to that list, here are a few more possibilities.

Ethical views on employee monitoring

Pros and cons of working from home

Challenges and opportunities in doing business overseas

Adopting "green" policies and technology at work

Predicting the future of work

Improving employee satisfaction

Increasing customer loyalty

Before making your presentation, you want to get a better understanding of what your colleagues already know about the topic, what they don't know yet, and what they'd like to learn, so you decide to make a short survey and distribute it ahead of time to those colleagues who are planning to attend.

In your initial post, tell us which presentation topic you have chosen. In addition, provide a list of at least three questions to ask on your survey. Indicate the type of response sought for each question; for example, multiple choice, true/false, number scale, or written reply.

Suggestion: If you are familiar with Google Forms, use it to create your survey and then provide a link to it in your initial post so that we can take it ourselves.
