PART II: Presentation
Develop a presentation based on your PART I Research Paper and
practice delivering the presentation to another person. This can be a
colleague, supervisor, or even a family member. After the presentation
is finished, ask the audience member(s) for feedback. Specifically, ask
them to identify one area that you did exceptionally well and one area
that you could improve. The main purpose of presenting this
information is to practice your professional communication skills and
to share that information with others.
While you are not expected to submit the actual presentation with
your assignment, write a reflection in the same document following
your Part I. The reflection should be your experience presenting the
material, while addressing the following questions:
1. What did you learn about yourself through doing this
presentation?
2. What surprised you the most through doing this presentation?

learned in this course in the delivery of your presentation? If
so, how did you utilize them? If not, why not?
4. What was the feedback that you received regarding an area that
you did well and an area that needs improvement? How will
you implement this feedback into your future presentations?
Your paper in total (with Parts I and II) should be 8-10 pages in length.
