COM1002 Introduction to Communication

Module 5 Course Project

For you final course project you will be submitting two files:

An updated course project paper that reflects improvements made in response to the instructor feedback you received.

A PowerPoint version of your course project.

Update Your Paper

In the previous module, you turned in a rough draft to your instructor of your written paper. Look over the comments your instructor made and make the necessary changes to the paper. Make sure if you need major revisions you take the proper time to complete your paper. It will take less time if you only have a few minor revisions.

Develop a PowerPoint

The second file you will be turning in is a PowerPoint. At some point in your career, you may need to create a report and then present that information to collegues -- most likely in a PowerPoint Presentation. That is what you will be doing for this part of the project.

Your PowerPoint should include the following types of slides, for a total of 7 or more slides.

Title Slide

A content slide for each communication element

Definition of element

How the element was shown in the movie

Conclusion Slide

References Slide

When you are creating your PowerPoint, keep these things in mind:

Make sure your content is well organized and flows logically.

Use the Speaker Notes feature in PowerPoint to reduce the amount of text that appears on the slides. (The Speaker Notes will contain the text that guide what you would say while presenting the slides.)

Add pictures to the PowerPoint to demonstrate your creativity and visual communication skills.

Use proper grammar and spelling.

Cite each definition with proper APA citation style.

When developing a PowerPoint slideshow, it's important to be mindful of how you layout your content. The slides should present key points, arranged logically, without extraneous information contributing to a cluttered look. Using the Speaker Notes feature in PowerPoint is a great way to include relevant details without overloading the slides.
