An Activity in Service of Improving Students’ Final Presentations

Students are expected to create and deliver high-impact presentations or trainings as final projects to Organizational Behavior or Human Resources classes, yet they do not have the requisite skills. This exercise uses experiential learning to have students practice creating and delivering an interactive PowerPoint presentation in small groups in a short time mid-course to prepare them for their final projects. Students prepare and deliver a group interactive presentation, reflect, and then receive a “Best Practices” tip sheet all within 2.5 hours.
