You must create a PowerPoint presentation, which will be submitted to Dr. Sheppard via email or flash drive no later than 9:00 am on the morning of your presentation. You will sign up for a presentation time on the sheet available on Dr. Sheppard’s office door. The presentation should cover as much of your research as possible in the time allowed. The goal is to educate the class about your topic. If you cannot adequately cover your research in a 15-minute presentation your topic may be too broad.
