Question Description
Assignment Instructions
Use the Capella library to read Schmaltz and Enstrom’s 2014 article “Death to Weak PowerPoint: Strategies to Create Effective Visual Presentations” (linked in Resources).
You are strongly encouraged to seek further guidance on designing strong PowerPoint slides to create the best possible presentation. In addition to the Schmaltz and Enstrom article, refer to the other linked Resources from the Capella library or ask your DA “What is good presentation design?” or “Search YouTube videos on good presentation design.”
Divide your presentation into the following sections:
o Title slide
o Topic Area (1–2 slides)
▪ Describe the topic area you have selected in detail so the reader is clear about your intended audience.
▪ Describe the current state of social media in your selected topic area. What are examples of platforms or social media applications that are currently popular with people from your topic area?
▪ Include citations to research that supports the popularity of your platforms or applications of social media.
o Attention and Engagement (1–2 slides)
▪ Describe at least two principles of gaining attention or maintaining engagement with viewers or followers on social media in your selected topic area.
▪ Include citations to research supporting the psychological principles or concepts you are reporting.
o Benefits of Social Media Use (2–4 slides)
▪ Describe at least two potential benefits of using social media with people in your selected topic area.
▪ Describe at least one psychological principle or concept related to the positive use of social media with your topic area.
▪ Include citations to research supporting your statements.
o Risks of Social Media Use (2–4 slides)
▪ Describe at least two potential risks of using social media with people in your selected topic area.
▪ Describe at least one psychological principle or concept related to the negative use of social media with your topic area.
▪ Include citations to research supporting your statements.
o References (as many slides as needed)
▪ Close by providing a list of the references that match your citations used in the presentation. Use APA style in formatting your references.
Basic Guidance for PowerPoint Presentations
o Slides should be created with effective use of color and images and limited use of text in keeping with principles of gaining attention and maintaining engagement in a slide presentation.
▪ Keep the design simple. Use a plain, readable typeface such as Arial or Verdana, minimum size 24 points.
▪ For best color contrast, use light text on dark background (for example, yellow on black, white on dark blue).
▪ Keep the slides concise. If you use bullet points, use no more than four bullet points per slide and five–seven words per bullet.
▪ Use speaker notes to explicate the bullets rather than writing out all your thoughts on each slide. Most of your writing will be included in the speaker notes section of each slide.
▪ Follow the suggested slide layout. For example, if a slide has a title and text, create it using the correct Title and Text layout.
ORDER NOW FOR AN ORIGINAL PAPER ASSIGNMENT: Capella University Cyberbullying and Effects on Teenagers Presentation Discussion
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS
Discussion Questions (DQ)
Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words.
Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source.
One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words.
I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.
Weekly Participation
Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately.
In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies.
Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work).
Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.
APA Format and Writing Quality
Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required).
Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.
I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.
Use of Direct Quotes
I discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly.
As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content.
It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.
LopesWrite Policy
For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.
Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.
Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?
Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.
Late Policy
The university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies.
Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances.
If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.
I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.
As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.
Communication
Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me:
Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.
Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.
