Human project

Topic: Teaching Effective Presentation Skills
Instructions: This project requires you to develop a PowerPoint slide presentation for use as a training tool with managers and supervisors on how to prepare an effective presentation. As you move up through the workforce you will at some point be required to give a briefing or presentation to others. Hopefully, one day you will also have to the opportunity to develop one of your worker’s speaking and presentation skills. There is great satisfaction in taking a nervous employee, helping them to develop their presentation, coaching them on delivery and then watching them knock it out of the park! With this in mind, your presentation should briefly outline (i.e., no more than 2-3 slides) how to start a presentation (that is attention-getting steps) an and overview for the audience. You should focus the majority of your presentation (i.e., 8-10 slides) on what makes an effective presentation. Factors to consider in all forms of communication–Who is your audience? What is your message? Are you trying to persuade? Inform? The Week 5, Lesson 1 has a lot of great information to get you started, as well as the Forum in Week 4 (the Guy Kawasaki TED Talk).
Here are some guidelines to get you started: You are going to brief a small group of newly graduated APUS Business Students on how to present an effective presentation. Your audience ages are anywhere from 20-60 years of age, with various business backgrounds, military experience, and even some small business owners.
There should be an introduction slide, a topic overview slide, 8-10 slides on presentation techniques, a conclusion slide and lastly a reference slide. Use the “notes” feature of PowerPoint to list your talking points on each slide for me to read what you would actually be saying.

Submission Instructions: IMPORTANT! Save and submit your work as a PDF.
The body of your presentation should include at least 8-10 presentation slides, in addition to a title slide, introduction slide(s), and references at the end of your presentation for a total of no more than 15 slides. PowerPoint presentations longer than 15 slides will not be read after the 15th slide. As such, please ensure that all assignment questions are answered within the first 15 slides, as your grade will be based on the first 15 slides received.
Your grade will be based upon your ability to follow assignment instructions, research conducted, the effectiveness of the training proposed, critical thinking and analysis, and APA 7th edition format.

Please support your ideas, arguments, and opinions with independent research, include at least three (3) supporting references or sources (do NOT use your textbook as one of the three required references, or encyclopedias, Wikipedia, unknown, undated, or anonymous sources, such as brief articles from websites), include a reference section (i.e., 1-2 slides), and cite all sources properly in the text of each slide, in accordance with the 7th edition of the APA manual.
Helpful Tips
I encourage you to go online to Purdue OWL, or Excelsior OWL, which have writing labs for students. Look up PowerPoint presentations in APA format in the search box. These websites will have helpful tips on best practices. TED talks are also another great source for good information.

Film Analysis ( Parasite)

. This paper should be a close analysis of a chosen film or two films that are significantly related in some way. Your chosen film(s) cannot be from European or North American cinemas! You may analyze the content of the film, its cultural context, or the film industry that produced it, or some combination of these as is pertinent to your interpretation of the film. Because this is a short class, you should use the blogs and activities to help you draft 1-2 pages a week in order to have a complete 6 page paper by the end of the 6 weeks. Here are the requirements:
1. Minimum 6 pages (not including works cited), double-spaced, 12 pt Times New Roman font, 1” margins.
2. Use MLA, APA, Chicago, or whichever citation style you are most familiar with. Be consistent.
3. Use at least 2-4 sources including the film. 1-2 sources should be external scholarly sources located through the UB Library. Note that you may not find scholarly research written specifically on your chosen film—you will likely have to look more broadly at scholarship on cinema in the region and cultural context the film comes from.
4. Must have an argument! Do not just summarize or report on the content of the film. Analyze and interpret it: how should we understand the film? What do we learn from it? What is its meaning, and why is it significant? What are its major themes and messages? Back up your argument with specific evidence from the film and your sources.
5. Submit the paper through the Assignment submission in Week 6 of the course on UBLearns.

Pick a piece of art music that has special significance to you. The piece may speak to you because you like the composer, and/or the style and emotional impact of the piece, but I want you to feel that you have a personal connection to the piece. Compare your piece to another piece by a different composer in a different time period.

Pick a piece of art music that has special significance to you. The piece may speak to you because you like the composer, and/or the style and emotional impact of the piece, but I want you to feel that you have a personal connection to the piece. Compare your piece to another piece by a different composer in a different time period. For example, if you pick the first movement of Symphony No. 5 by Beethoven, you will need to pick a comparison piece that is by any other composer in any other time period.
1.) The Element of Music
Rhythm
Melody
Harmony
Dynamics
Timbre
Form
2.) Social/Political Message (if any)
3.) Emotional Impact
4.) Historical Information re: Composition

Identify your sources, including author, title, and the database information or website.

Overview: Now that we’ve discussed the importance of using credible secondary sources for your project, let’s start annotating! Don’t worry—we’re going to walk through the process one step at a time. This week, you’ll be guided through the writing-plan process with specific questions. In this section, we’ll first focus on finding sources. Then we’ll help you summarize those sources, evaluate their credibility, and explain how they will help support your argument. If you found a source that passed the C.R.A.A.P.O. test earlier in this module, feel free to use that as one of your sources. If you decided to alter your keywords and you’d like to start your research from scratch, that’s totally fine too!
Prompt: In this activity, you’ll create an annotated bibliography by following the steps below and answering the questions as thoroughly as possible. The questions will prompt you to engage in a conversation with your sources. You will need to follow the steps below three times (for your three different sources).
Before you begin, make sure you have:
 Selected sources from the library databases
 At least one of your three sources should present a counterargument, a position that an opponent of your argument might make.
 Applied the C.R.A.A.P.O test to the sources to determine if they are credible and reliable (You can download a copy of The C.R.A.A.P.O. Test Worksheet in
MindEdge. Remember that credible sources should score 35 points or more on the test.) Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
1. Identify your sources, including author, title, and the database information or website.
2. Summarize your source. (Use the template below.)
 It seems this source is arguing ____________________. This source is using the following evidence to support the argument: ____________________.
 A counterargument for one of the provided sources could be: _________________________________________________________.
3. Credibility and Relevance
 Explain the rationale for the credibility of the source by providing supporting evidence. (Use the template below.)
o Personally, I believe the source is doing a (good job / bad job) of supporting its arguments because ____________________.
 Explain the relevance of the source to your argument. (Use the template below.)
o I think this source will be very helpful in supporting my argument because ________________________.

Discussion: Designing Quantitative Research
Researchers consider validity and reliability with each new study they design. This is because validity and reliability are not fixed but rather reflect a particular study’s unique variables, research design, instruments, and participants.
In the context of research design, two types of validity, which speak to the quality of different features of the research process, are considered: internal validity and external validity. Assuming that the findings of a research study are internally valid—i.e., the researcher has used controls to determine that the outcome is indeed due to manipulation of the independent variable or the treatment—external validity refers to the extent to which the findings can be generalized from the sample to the population or to other settings and groups. Reliability refers to the replicability of the findings.
For this Discussion, you will consider threats to internal and external validity in quantitative research and the strategies used to mitigate these threats. You will also consider the ethical implications of designing quantitative research.
INSTRUCTIONS:
With these thoughts in mind:
Post an explanation of a threat to internal validity and a threat to external validity in quantitative research. Next, explain a strategy to mitigate each of these threats. Then, identify a potential ethical issue in quantitative research and explain how it might influence design decisions. Finally, explain what it means for a research topic to be amenable to scientific study using a quantitative approach.
