Group Presentations

Group Presentation
You will be assigned to a group. Choose a topic to present. Some ideas follow. Remember that the major goal of attending Stevens-Henager College is to gain general and specific skills needed for a high performance career. The specific career for each of you will be different but many skills and characteristics are the same. So the presentation should address motivational ideas or skills that will help make you successful in the workplace. Please do not address those topics that we have already covered in class. The following list has some ideas for you to consider.
Each group will have 15 minutes to present their findings. That will be a total of 20 minutes including your set up and take down time. Please plan accordingly. Because of limited time the last day of class you will be interrupted if your presentation goes long.
You may combine your group presentation with your research paper as long as each group member turns in their own paper with their own information and topic.
