• Construct and deliver your presentation with the following guidelines in mind:
• • Organization: The content should be clear, logical, and organized so that your listeners can follow the line of reasoning.
  • Style: The level of presentation should be appropriate for your audience. Your presentation should be a planned conversation paced for your audience’s understanding and not a reading of a paper.
  • Use of Poster/Communication Aids: Use your poster or other communication aids to enhance the presentation. Prepare these visuals in a professional manner so that they are large enough to be seen. Organize the information to maximize audience understanding. Minimize details so that only the main points stand out.
  • Depth of Content: Your presentation should have an introduction that gets attention, lays out the problem well, and establishes a framework for the rest of the presentation. Define any technical terms in a language that is appropriate for your target audience. Include an appropriate amount of material that fully explains the points you are making and reflects their relative importance to the project itself. Provide an accurate and complete explanation of key issues of your quality improvement project. Make sure your solutions draw upon relevant course content that you have learned. Include the application of the model for improvement so that your listeners gain insight.
  • Conclusion: End the presentation with a summary that provides an obvious conclusion.
  • Construction and Quality of Presentation: You should be able to succinctly describe the scope and importance of the project. The content must be clear and easy to understand, coherently organized, and easy to follow. The delivery of the project presentation must be free of technical errors, with no spelling or grammatical errors in your poster. Two or more sources must be cited in the presentation in APA format.
