The BUSI 538 Week 7 method, step by step
Plan the talk before the slides
Write the message of the Investment Project Kaltura Video in two sentences, then outline the points that support it. Slides built before the message tend to become a stack of facts.
One idea per slide
Give each slide a headline that states its point and keep the text short. The detail belongs in what you say or in the speaker notes.
Put the evidence where it is used
Meet the source requirement (Your PowerPoint and Bodie chapter 22) with citations on the slides themselves, plus a final references slide in current APA.
Write speaker notes or a script
Script the talk slide by slide. If the guide asks for voiceover or notes, the analysis lives there.
Rehearse to the time limit
Do one timed run before the final recording and trim to fit the limit.
Check the technical requirements
Confirm the format the guide asks for (10 to 15 minutes): slide count, length, audio and visual, and the file or link type Canvas accepts.
Script about 1,300 to 1,900 words for 10 to 15 minutes, and rehearse once with a timer. Walk through the slides but speak to the reasoning behind each, not the text on screen.
A structure for BUSI 538 Week 7 Investment Project Kaltura Video

| Delivery | Clear, within 10 to 15 minutes. | ~300 words |
A topic angle that works
The video should explain your reasoning: why your return objective, risk tolerance and allocation fit your situation, and how you will monitor and revise the portfolio over time.
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.
My risk tolerance is above average because I have a long horizon and stable income, so my target allocation is 80% stocks and 20% bonds. But my willingness to take risk is lower than my ability; I sold during a market drop once and regretted it. So I will automate contributions and rebalance only once a year, which keeps me from reacting to headlines.
