DATA ANALYSIS PRESENTATION
Scenario: You found an interesting article that you would like to share at our department staff meeting on
Wednesday,
Task:
1. Find a news article on a topic that interests you. The article MUST contain statistics, charts, or graphs.
2. Create a PowerPoint presentation that you will present in front of the class in 5 minutes.
3. Summarize the article in a concise yet compelling manner. (To be compelling you need to tell us why you
found this interesting). Keep this formal.
4. Where to find an article: Check out Pew Research online (www.pewresearch.org). This site has stats on
just about anything. Please refrain from discussing politics or a topic that could be inflammatory and/or
divisive. Stick with topics on science, technology or popular trends. Other good sources of articles with
data are: The Wall Street Journal The Economist The New York Times
You can access these periodicals through our library website.

5. Your article should have at least 10 paragraphs with at least one chart and/or table.
How to organize your presentation: What is the article topic and what are the key points you’ll be discussing in the presentation? (Tell the audience what you’re going to tell them.)
How to organize your presentation: What is the article topic and what are the key points you’ll be discussing in the presentation? (Tell the audience what you’re going to tell them.)
This is an introduction of your presentation. What are the main points? What are the supporting points? Discuss and evaluate the data. Is it reasonable and credible? (Tell them.) This is the body of your presentation. Quickly summarize what you just talked about and tell the audience why this is important. (Tell them
what you told them). This is your summary.
CREATE YOUR SLIDES You only have 5 minutes, so keep your slides to a minimum and go through them quickly. Refer to Chapter 17 on Designing Effective Slides. I want to see:
o A cover slide with the topic, your name, and the date.
o An Overview slide.
o A title at the top off each slide.
o Bullet points with phrases, not full sentences, to support the slide topic.
o Parallel structure on your bullet points.
o A white background/no dark backgrounds.
o A Summary slide.
o A final “Questions” slide to signify the end of your presentation.
You will lose points if you do not follow the above formatting. Don’t just cut and paste the charts and graphs. If they don’t transfer to your slides clearly, you’ll
need to recreate them. You will lose points if they cannot be read or if they are blurry. If you’re not done in 5 minutes, I’ll have to stop you. This will affect your final grade. Why? Business
people are busy. They always have another meeting to go to. They’ll need to leave even if you’re not
done presenting. How do you make sure you’ll end on time? Practice. Please print out a hardcopy of the article you chose and bring it to class on your presentation day.
Assessment:
You will be evaluated using the Oral Presentation Rubric provided in class.
