...Richard Liu EAS546-002 2/19/2014 Effective Presentations Preparation In order to deliver a passionate, charismatic presentation, it is necessary to carefully rehearse and prepare beforehand. As introduced by “Preparing to Be Real,” there are several strategies during rehearsal which can help better connect the speaker with the material and his/her charisma: (1) find and rehearse its essence, by running through the high-level structure of the speech in a short duration (learning what’s important and what’s not), (2) focus on the opening story, by providing a concise, compelling introduction which relates to the overall theme of the talk (paying attention to emotional language and signals, and paring down irrelevant details), (3) practice the big emotional stretch, by transitioning among the emotional spectrum from happy to sad (becoming more comfortable with big feelings, facial expressions, gestures, and motions), (4) babble to increase nonverbal skills, by delivering the essence speech with nonsense phrases, gestures, and body language to convey meaning (learning to demonstrate charisma and becoming comfortable with our emotional attitudes), (5) put on a persona, by taking the role of another person to allow the speaker to become much more expressive (finding someone who engages you imaginatively and emotionally), and (6) learn from the best, by watching Martin Luther King Jr. give his “I Have a Dream speech” and following his dramatic starts and endings. Once the speaker has...

...BUSN300-1101B-12 Effective Presentation Unit 2 Individual Project By: Theresa Little AIU April 6, 2011 Introduction When judging whether the economy is doing well or not, it is important study the total income of everyone in the particular economy to determine the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The GDP estimates the total income and expenditures of an economy output of goods and services, which means for any economy as a whole income must equal expenditures. Although in calculating the formula for GDP, it ignores a very large portion of the activities that occur in an economy, policy makers depend on the GDP statistics and forecast to decide what course of action with economics, fiscal and investment policies. (Mankiw, 2008). GDP measures the flow of money because all expenditures end up as someone’s income. This paper will attempt to show how the gross domestic product is interpreted, determined and give some forecast of trends. Trends, Forecast, and Statistics Some of the trends in GDP are: Unemployment – An Unemployment rate in the U. S. are rising, and is one main concerns in the U. S. since the recent recession. Job cuts have reduced the means by which a person can provide for him/herself and family.

...REASONS FOR FOOD PRICES RISING Over the past few years food prices are at dangerous levels according to the World Bank they have pushed 44 million people into poverty. There have been many suggestions as to why the food prices have gone up by extreme amounts. The world’s population is obviously increasing so food is harder to supply for the growing population but this is not the main reason why this has happened. Many countries over the past years have started to become more and more developed and so people are demanding more and better quality food. In other words changing diets in fast-developing nations such as China and India is considered main factor of price changes. Production has failed to keep up with the growing demand coming from these developing countries, pushing prices sharply higher. Another factor is that LEDC’s many times have problems with transportation. It is hard to export your goods and very expensive in some cases. Furthermore rising oil prices have boosted demand for bio-fuels. The use of land to grow plants which can be used to make alternative fuels- and the use of food crops themselves for fuel- has reduced food supplies and helped push up prices. The main reason though for the rise in food prices is supply has decreased due to severe weather in some of the world’s biggest exporting countries. Flooding hit the planting season in Canada, and destroyed crops of wheat and sugar cane in Australia. In addition, drought and fires devastated harvests...

When it comes to how well it conveyed the message well the status of how the due diligence is was not clearly the focal point of the message and the recommendation overshadows the message that is trying to be conveyed. It was the right type communication to be used. Emails are best for when talking between peers because is not a formal message. The ethical implications are the sharing of information over an email can be seen by others if the email is hacked or if your peer decides to show someone that they shouldn’t have. The information could be that shouldn’t be seen by any other person other than your peer. Then we have a formal written memo to the Chief Executive Officer.

...CHAPTER I Introduction Background of the Study This study investigates whether PowerPoint presentations improve student’s learning and attitudes compared with traditional classroom presentations. While the use of PowerPoint and multimedia in the classroom has significantly increased globally in recent years (Connor and Wong, 2004; Bartsch and Cobern, 2003), few studies have systematically investigated its impact on student learning and attitudes. Rebele et al. (1998) note that little research exists regarding integration of technology in the accounting curriculum, and suggest that accounting researchers should examine whether technology improves learning. One study that has examined the relationship between multimedia and student learning and attitudes was conducted by Butler and Mautz (1996). In a laboratory experiment conducted during a 30-minute time period, they found that multimedia did not affect student recall in all situations. Butler and Mautz did find an interaction between the effects of the multimedia presentation and the student’s preferred class representation style (i.e., whether the student was considered a “verbal” or “imaginal” learner). To improve the quality of learning in our schools using multimedia is very effective in the teaching learning situation. It benefits the students to grasp information easily, to understand as much information as possible, to retain information longer and to gain knowledge that is observable and measured. Literally, multimedia...
