...How to Find Specific Journal Articles: (by Mark James) This is a step-by-step guide to finding specific research articles that you have been given the complete reference for (e.g. for seminar readings listed on Moodle, or for articles cited in lectures). To find articles when you do not have a full reference for (e.g. when you’re looking for research on a topic/theory/model generally) please refer to the slide “Finding Sources” of the Study Skills slides provided on Moodle. All seminar readings are available to download via the University of Kent library website using the following steps. Example - how to find: Poropat, A.E. (2009). A meta-analytic analysis of the five-factor model of personality and academic performance. Psychological Bulletin, 135 (2), 322-38. Step 1: Go to http://www.kent.ac.uk/library/ - click ‘Search for journals” and enter title of the journal (e.g. Psychological Bulletin) here: Step 2: Click on one of the search results: Some journals are accessible through multiple providers (e.g. PsycARTICLES, Academic Search Complete, Wiley-Blackwell Full Collection), with varying levels of access. Check the date of the article you’re searching for was published and select a provider which holds the journal published that year. Step 3: A new window will pop up, and you will be asked to input your Kent username and password. Once provided you will be taken to the journal providers website. Select the year the reading was published (e.g. 2009)...

...request, I attended a seminar about the use of PowerPoint in business presentations. You suggested that there might be tips that I would learn that we could share with other staff members, many of whom make presentations that almost always include PowerPoint. The speaker, Gary Dixon, made some very good points on the subject of PowerPoint. There were several points of an important nature that are useful in avoiding what he called a “PowerPoint slumber party.” Our staff members should give consideration to the following: Create first the message, not the slide. Only after preparing the entire script should you think about how to make an illustration of it. You should prepare slides with short lines. Your slides should have only four to six words per line. Short lines act as an encouragement to people to listen to you and not read the slide. Don't put each and every thing on the slide. If you put too much on the slide, your audience will be reading Item C while you are still talking about Item A. As a last and final point, she suggested that presenters think in terms of headlines. What is the main point? What does it mean to the audience? Please let me know whether you want me to elaborate and expand on these presentation techniques subsequent to the next staff meeting. Your Name [Your contact information] * I would change that phrase to as you requested * I would take that phrase out; it’s a redundant phrase....

...and focuses on academic achievement. As needed, review the Hunt Institute video below (click this link to view the video transcript), which covers the history and development of the CCSS. For this discussion, you will adopt the role of a school leader and create a digital presentation using the software of your choice (e.g., PowerPoint, Present.me, YouTube, Prezi, Jing, SlideRocket, or another program). Your audience for this presentation can be either a school board or a stakeholder directly in the school setting, such as teachers, other staff, or students. If you use software other than PowerPoint, submit notes for each slide as part of your post. If you use PowerPoint, be sure to include notes for each talking point on slides in the notes section for each slide. The presentation needs to be six to eight slides, excluding the title and references slides, and cite at least one scholarly source in addition to the required resources for this week. Ensure that your presentation: • Explains the purpose of CCSS. • Explains how the CCSS are used within a school for teaching and learning. • Justifies why...

...this issue would be to briefly read over with her the basic guidelines and instructions for creating a PowerPoint presentation, such as how to select a theme, insert data and pictures and anything else I feel she would need to know. I would try to avoid overloading her with anything I think she may not need to deal with at the time. If I have further trouble understanding any issues she has I would suggest that we try to start from the beginning and try to take her through the process step by step and from there figure out the best process for her to create this project. Once we figured out what she wants then I would go back to trying to take her through the basic process of creating a presentation, advising her how to create a slide, edit slides, and how to add in pictures and video’s as well as graphs for her statistics. If we had further issues with her understanding my instructions then I would recommend to the customer to review any online how-to steps for creating a presentation. There are many forms of help available for the customer to review and look at which is sometimes much easier than having someone tell you over the...

...BIG IDEA PRESENTATION SUGGESTED POWER POINT SLIDES There should be approximately six Power Point slides per presentation. 1) Intro Slide: Business Concept name, Team members’ names (first & last) Date 2) Statement of the Big Idea (simple product description): In as few words as possible, define your product idea (e.g., Wrenchead.com sells auto parts to consumers and professionals over the Internet.) 3) Product Description You can add more detail about your product: F.I.S.T. What differentiates your idea from the competition (e.g., odd-numbered mismatched socks, chauffer service that gets you and your car home safely, ice cream shaped like a hot dog that can be accessorized)? Paint a picture of how and why customers will be attracted to your product. 4) Value Proposition Highlight what benefits your product will bring to the customers, whether they are specific TJX stores or TJX end-use customers or both. How will it increase earnings or cut costs? The critical difference between the Product Description and the Value Proposition is data: “Show me the numbers.” Supply some quantitative data that supports the feasibility of your business. Find facts and figures that show the size of your potential market, their disposable income, the projected growth of a particular market niche, etc. Cite industry analysis, if appropriate. Use a graph or pie chart to highlight the data. For example, in the case of LittleMissMatched, the Value Proposition would focus...

...me explain the strategies. First step is the professors must log-in first and make quizzes in their presentation. They can log-in through google account or make new nearpot account. However, the students do not have to make their ID. They can log-in with their name. And put the number of pin number for finding professors’ presentation. I will show you how to work in nearpod later. When the professors share the quizzes in their presentation, the students can do quizzes there during the class. And also the professors can check the students’ score immediately. The next specific method is homework. The homework in nearpot is to review the slides after classes. For example, the professors email students like Hello~ this is slides for my classes~ like that. And the link is also included there. So if the students click the link, they can see the slides. I will show you how to use the nearpod. As I mentioned before, the professors must log-in and make their presentation first. I already made account. After the professors log-in, they can see 3parts. Create will be used for creating new presentation and edit it, engage will be used for launching their presentation to the students during the class, and assess can be used after class for checking who were there, who got how many quiz score like that. I made also example...

...horror story: A company salesperson came to my organization trying to persuade us to buy the product they were pitching. The product was a fairly good product but the pitch was horrible. The proposal was written like a study. The font was much too small and the line spacing was much too close. Additionally, the slide presentation had no pictures to set the mood and the presenter read from the slides… boring! This happens much too often. The "A" Paper example is a good proposal structure that has been used in business by me and other instructors that are business veterans. Please print out the example and follow its basic format. If you have problems creating text boxes or proper alignments please get assistance from the library staff or a friend. Changes here and there are OK. The presentation should contain between 8 to 12 slides and to be accompanied by a one-page executive briefing that outlines the focus of the presentation. Use the “no more than six lines per slide" rule. Slides are used as speaking points and are not to be read by the speaker. This is very important and cannot be over-emphasized. Remember, this is not a speech class. Use pictures in your slides that cause the audience to evoke the correct emotion to make your point. Use the Sir Winston formula....
