Specific guidance for the assessment

PowerPoint Slides

This PowerPoint is destined to be understood by an ordinary risk-averse investor. The language must be polite and formal, and avoid technical terms where possible. If such terms are included, they must be explained in formal but non-technical language.

Your PowerPoint must be structured as follows:

1. Title page with your name, student number, case study number/title.

2. At least FIVE SLIDES summarising the content you are speaking to in the recording.

3. One additional reference slide with AT LEAST THREE relevant academic or other appropriate references, for example a government report or company information from ASX/ASIC, using the UniSA APA Referencing system.

You may select your own design for the PowerPoint slides, but it must be formal and consistent with the marking rubric criteria. Marking rubrics are available on the LearnOnline course site.

Selection of information presented

In any presentation of information to an audience, there is often insufficient time/space within which to respond. It is into this space you may find yourself with the recording you are preparing. As such, you will need to exercise professional judgement to determine (1) exactly what aspects you wish to focus on and (2) what items of analysis you wish to emphasise.

It is imperative for you to present your findings within the time constraint. Therefore, your selection and emphasis of specific items is important.

Further details on preparing recorded presentations

You must prepare a 5-minute voice and video over PowerPoint presentation.

The presentation must show the slides, your face speaking to the camera, and be clearly audible. Please also position the camera so that any hand gestures are also visible. You must use language which can be understood by a risk-averse investor with limited knowledge who is your target audience for the purpose of this assessment.

The language must be polite and formal, and avoid technical terms where possible. If such terms are included, they must be explained in formal but non-technical language.

Your recording must be within the designated time range. You may use short notes, or hand-held prompt cards, but MUST NOT read directly from them or from a script.

Important Note:

Though some versions of Microsoft PowerPoint offer in screen recording, not all versions do. It is recommended that you utilise Zoom recording to record you presentation.
