PowerPoint Requirements:
I. Title Slide

This will be the first slide of your PowerPoint (and
is NOT considered a content
slide).

This slide will include the following: title of
your presentation, your full name, class name & section number, and your institution
(Liberty University).
II. Content Slides
·
A minimum of 10 content slides must be included.
·
All content slides must contain speaker notes.
Speaker
notes are a presenter’s “cheat sheet” if you will. In other words, speaker
notes are hidden from your audience, but you are able to view them while
presenting.
Speaker
notes are NOT a copy of the information on your slide. Instead, speaker
notes expand upon and/or offer further clarification regarding points on
each slide.
To add speaker notes, go to the Notes pane under the
slide where you will see “Click to add notes”.

guidelines, the inclusion of the complete

is required for all full-text, peer-reviewed/scholarly
articles retrieved from Liberty’s online library journal database. Note that
this is not the same as the doi #. The URL
