The BUSI 300 Week 7 method, step by step
Plan the talk before the slides
Decide what the audience should know or do at the end, and outline the talk around that. The slides come last.
One idea per slide
Each slide carries one point, stated in its title. Short lines, readable type, no paragraphs on the slide.
Put the evidence where it is used
Cite sources on the slides where you use them and list them on a references slide (At least 5 credible sources in current APA).
Write speaker notes or a script
Write notes for each slide in full sentences. They keep the recording on time and give the grader the reasoning the slides only point to.
Rehearse to the time limit
Do one timed run before the final recording and trim to fit the limit.
Check the technical requirements
Before submitting, check the slide count and timing (At least 15 content slides), that audio plays, and that the link or file opens for someone else.
Follow the course's own advice on presentations: one idea per slide, short phrases instead of paragraphs, readable fonts and visuals that carry meaning. Put fuller explanation in the speaker notes, and cite sources on the slides where you use them.
A structure for BUSI 300 Week 7 PowerPoint Presentation
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,200 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Title and objectives | What trainees will learn. | ~120 words |
| Why it matters | The cost of poor communication on this topic. | ~190 words |
| Principles | The core guidance, with sources. | ~430 words |
| Examples and practice | Before-and-after examples or a short exercise. | ~310 words |
| Summary and references | Takeaways and APA reference slides. | ~140 words |
A topic angle that works
Design it as real training: state learning objectives on the second slide, teach a few principles with examples, include one short practice activity, and end with a summary trainees could use the next day.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
Slide 7, Write subject lines that work. Bullets: State the action or topic; Include a date if there is a deadline; Keep it under eight words. Notes: Employees decide whether to open an email from the subject line, and specific subject lines get faster replies. Compare "Question" with "Approve Q3 travel budget by Friday."
