PowerPoint Warm Up Exercise 2014 2
Production Management Department B-403 Date: November 17, 2014
Subject: PowerPoint Warm-Up Exercise
The purpose of this assignment is to begin the process of looking at PowerPoint as a multimedia tool for business professionals. We are going to examine how we look at presentations in a large room environment instead of “fingers to elbows”. This presentation is not about a particular topic, or theme. It is about skills. It is expected that ALL PowerPoint assignments this semester will be submitted with multimedia elements in them.
Requirements for this assignment are as follows:
1. Slide 1 will have your name, personal photo, and the title of this assignment.
2. Slide 2 will contain an imported worksheet from Excel. Make sure numbers are formatted before you bring it in, and that you maximize the size of the numbers for easy reading. Seeing the data is more important than the title of the slide. (Copy the data, then in PowerPoint; select a blank slide and Paste Special, Excel Worksheet Object.) What do your numbers tell us? Insert a text box that highlights what we should know about the data. If there are significant numbers in the worksheet then highlight them in some appropriate manner. Prime area of a slide is top 2/3 rds, so don’t put your important facts on the bottom of the slide.
3. Slide 3 will contain the results of a Query from your Access Warm-Up Exercise. Make sure to adjust the size of the font for the data when it is imported into PowerPoint to make it easy to read. (Copy the data, then just Paste it on a blank slide in PowerPoint. Once there it is a table and can be edited as such.)
4. Slide 4 will contain 5 facts about you. These are referred to as bullets. Do not put them in paragraph format. They are 5 separate items that will appear on the slide, one at a time, when you run your presentation. They don’t have to be true.
5. Slide 5 will feature a topic of your choosing. On the slide include a brief statement(s)
