Narrated PowerPoint Research Proposal

OVERVIEW
The purpose of this assignment is to practice oral communication through a narrated PowerPoint.
A narrated PowerPoint is a PowerPoint presentation with your voice narration on the
presentation. In this assignment, you will prepare one slide of content and will orally present
your research proposal by just talking about it on camera. In this presentation, you are expected
to describe your project without reading and demonstrate your knowledge of your research area
and proposed study through this 10–15-minute discussion of your topic and study. The goal of
this assignment is to assess your ability to talk about your research.
