Group presentation
Your group will present the final results of your
study to the class. Everyone should be involved in the presentation in some
way, but not everyone in the group has to speak. One grade will be assigned for
the entire group.
In your presentation, you need to use PowerPoint or
similar slides and address the following:
1. The title of the study and your names
2. The problem (why is this something to study?)
3. Background information (give a summary of 2-4
studies that are most similar to yours and what they found)
4. Current study (the purpose of your study—how it
differs from previous research—and what your hypotheses are)
5. Method (who were the participants and what did they
do—this may be 1-3 slides)
6. Results (what were your main results?—actually
show the data—show graphs, correlations, etc.)
7. Limitations (what were some limitations or reasons
that you might not have gotten what you expected if so?)
8. Conclusions (what can we conclude from your study?)
Citations should be on each slide where needed (i.e.,
where you talk about a study or measure from the literature)
You should have no more than 10 slides total. The
presentation should take no more than 10 minutes. You will also have up to 5
minutes of questions from the class and instructor.
Criteria for grading:
1) content (see above)
2) Clarify of slides (no typos, not too much
information—generally no more than 6 bullets, few words per bullet)
3) presentation style (clear, understandable, looking
at the audience, not speaking too fast or too slowly, few “ums,” showing
confidence
4) ability to answer questions (ability to correctly
answer questions)
