This week, you will prepare your written argument for oral delivery. Imagine you have submitted a proposal in written form, and your audience asks you to deliver an oral presentation to a virtual or asynchronous audience. How would you need to adapt your content to fit within the time constraints or to make it more visually appealing?
Read this week’s lesson page for detailed guidance on developing and organizing presentations. The following are your specific assignment expectations and recommendations.
Provide a recorded narration of about 7 minutes.
The narration delivers your message. Do not skip this. Slides without narration have little value.
Speak your message with energy, enthusiasm, and confidence. You are the expert with something valuable to share!
Include specific evidence and other researched source information so support your message.
Do not read your slides. Use the slides as an outline to support your complete spoken message.
Do not read your essay. Adapt your essay’s message to be more suitable for spoken and visual delivery.
Recording is most easily done using the narration tools in PowerPoint, though you may submit audio in any .mp3 or .mp4 format.
Webcam video recording is optional, but consider how being visible to your audience may enhance your presentation’s effectiveness.
Use PowerPoint or a similar program as your visual aid.
Organize textual content into very concise, clear slide titles and bullets. Your narration carries the message. The words on the slides only provide an outline of ideas, important details, and citations.
Support your message with useful and relevant graphs, charts, and images. Explain them in your narration if necessary.
Maintain consistent font size and style, and design slides for a visually appealing audience experience.
The following is a sample organizational structure.
First Slide: Title, your name, topic, course, and date
Second Slide: Introduction—In the introduction, you might discuss why you chose your topic and why it is important. Provide a clear thesis statement.
Third and Fourth Slides: Problem Analysis—What is causing the problem? Is it getting worse? What will happen if we fail to act?
Fifth and Sixth Slides: Solutions—Discuss a range of possible solutions. Select the best one and convince your audience it is the best choice.
Seventh Slide: Conclusion—Provide a recap of your argument, and make a final call to action.
Eighth Slide: References—Review the information in the following section for additional guidance.
Follow APA citation guidelines for ethical source use.
In your narration, mention important sources to strengthen your credibility.
On your slides, write parenthetical citations for all written information and visual elements.
On a references slide, list full APA source citations for all sources used in the presentation.
Before submitting your narrated presentation, use the following rubric as a self-evaluation checklist. Be sure your narration is included with your visual aid.

“The Debate on Free Will: Examining the Arguments for and Against”
discussion reply to the following post: Free will, is it an illusion or is it a reality? I personally believe that we do have free will but for the sake of this discussion board I believe the logical determinist argument against free will is the strongest. Because I can understand how the question of if the future is already determined then how could someone have free will? It is a logical question that also then asks other questions about what free will actually is and how does time work. When you try to take the Creator out of the picture, I can see how scientist would say free will is an illusion but when you see the world through a Christian worldview determinism does not make sense. How can you hold someone accountable for their actions whether good or bad if they did not have a choice but to do them or not do them?
I believe the strongest argument supporting freewill is the libertarian view. They believe in incompatibilism, and that free will is genuine freedom. The reason that I believe this is because I believe in a good and loving God who has given all of his human creation free will. In the garden of Eden when he created Adam and Eve, he created them with free will even though he knew that they were going to use their free will to do things their own way. God being a kind and loving God put a plan in motion to give them a way to be redeemed back to him. He does not control people or make them do things, but he may bring a person to mind or bring about an opportunity to do something kind for someone, but we still have the option to do it or not to do it. People have free will and that’s why bad things do happen because people do not always do the right thing. I believe that God is working to turn things around for good. When you look for the good in situations you will see how God is working things out. God is not defined by the laws of time or laws of nature because he is the creator of them all. -
“Developing a Work Plan for Supporting Teachers as Learners: A Practical Approach”
Using the scenario’s given on p. 42 and 43 of “Supporting Teachers as Learners” (Whitebook and Bellm) please select one scenario (situation 1, 2, or 3) and practice developing a “work plan.” Pg. 44 gives you a work plan template to follow.
My expectation is that you begin to use new skills sets that we have covered in class, on canvas, and that you “think outside the box” (tapping into resources, your experience, and asking questions when needed.)
Be prepared to share you work plan overview with peers next week on our discussion board.
Formatting recommendations for this project:
1. Textbook template can be used as a “practice” sheet using a pencil to sketch out ideas.

Title: “Exploring Consumer Behavior: A Study on Location, Time, and Social Environment”
The final thesis file is my work, but the results part needs to be rewritten. The second trial thesis file includes the professors’ comments on the file and the results and discussion section has been deleted.
The purpose is the search for consumer behavior in different locations, times and social environment. I also have a file that is the teachers’ feedback on what needs to be done (the future steps and overview of improvements files).
Information about consumer habits in percentages, for example, must be added, but also limitations, future recommendations of this research.
I am attaching the original data set as well as the code file I have written so far. I am not allowed to change anything in the data set, as it is not mine, I have undertaken the analysis only.
Can you let me know about the cost and if it is possible in Python? -
