The findings will be presented in a PowerPoint presentation (20-25 slides). Keep the size of graphic files condensed and minimize special effects to ensure the file size does not exceed the 10 MB maximum for file submission to the digital classroom. Speaker notes should be included for each slide to provide talking points and relevant supporting details for the presentation of slide content.
