Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I have an alternative to Google Slides?
Yes. In the past, students have used Canva, Prezi, and YouTube to communicate their public policy project as well.
Do you provide an example of a completed presentation?
A common question I hear about the presentation is whether I provide examples or not?
I typically do NOT provide examples because I prefer students use their own thoughts and creativity in preparing their presentation.
The Google Slides Presentation Template is sufficient as is, so you can simply populate and submit it.
However, you are encouraged to go above and beyond in preparing your presentation: nice design, smooth organization, and aesthetically appealing.
