Overview
The goal of the Week 7 Assignment: Final Project is for students to find, evaluate, and use carefully curated information and present this information to an audience to inform and enlighten.
Description:
For the Week 7 Final Project, you will present your topic and communicate it to an audience in a professional and informative manner. The topic for the COMM120 Final Project is typically your program of study and the job you hope to get with that degree or a topic that is unique to you (hobby, activity, non-controversial aspect of history, et cetera).
The presentation should include the following broad ideas:
- Active use of the Big6 Model
- A discussion of the topic that you brainstormed during the Week 3 Assignment
- Effective use of the sources you found and vetted during the Week 5 Assignment
- Effectively communicate the knowledge you have gained during COMM120
When putting together your Week 7 Final Project, please consider the following:
- The Final Project will be a presentation. You can use PowerPoint, Prezi, or some other easily accessible presentation software. Your presentation needs to include the following:
- Introduction (1 slide)
- Body (5-7 slides)
- conclusion (1-2 slides)

- Provide clear evidence that the topic was researched and that you built upon the Week 3 Topic and Brainstorming.
- Provide clear evidence that you used the sources you found for the Week 5 Source Evaluation. You need to include at least three vetted quality sources, of which one must be from the APUS library.
- The presentation will provide the audience with information to increase their knowledge of the topic presented.
- The presentation should engage the audience by using elements such as images, graphs, and charts. Appropriate citations must be included.
