Who needs power point if you have common sense.

I don't think this professor has a sense of humor.

So far I have four of the slides done. I need a conclusion yet. And I suck at writing those.

Hey, I was totally serious!

Try this for a conclusion:

THE END

You can add that mushroom cloud if you want to and don't forget to time it.

Is this for your course in I.T., or
are you doing a degree in Agricultural science?

Management implies you (should) know all the variables of the problem.
Sustainability implies you know what you need to prevent it happening (again).

Any use ?

I wish.

Somehow that won't fill the speaker notes with a proper APA formatted conclusion though.

This is for my Psychology degree. A core class. ughhh

I have my paper written, but transposing it to slides in the correct format he requires is the problem.

Like this one (although I have to admit, this one's over-doing it a bit!

Sorry, but would you like to explain what you mean by "correct format" ?
You could illustrate it with cartoons. . . .

INTRODUCTION
This is where you will introduce the topic that you are about to discuss to the audience.
This is where you will give an overview of what you will be discussing in the next 10 slides of the paper that you are going to write. This should only be an overview and not go in to any details or solutions. You should introduce all the topics that you will be discussing in this one slide/paragraph. This is where you will raise the curiosity of the audience to listen/read the rest of your presentation. If this is a PowerPoint presentation, you will mostly have one bullet point for every "topic" that needs to be addressed. If this is a Word paper, it will be a set of statements that will introduce the contents of the paper.

CONCLUSION
A conclusion is the exact opposite of the introduction. It should be firm and decisive. It will summarize every "topic" that you had addressed to that extent. it will NOT introduce anything new at that point. It will summarize all the findings, alternative solutions considered, solutions selected in a nut-shell. Remember, this is NOT where you discuss the reasoning. Conclusion provides the take-home message.

Elegant graphics, visual aids, max 5 bullets per slide with max 5 words per line, correct grammar, logical flow, detailed planning, appropriate font sizes . . .

Need I go on?

On the assumption you want the thing readable and a trifle less boring:
Pick your own fonts (more than three or four can confuse). Don't bother with Times Roman unless you are stuck for space. Sans Serif fonts can be difficult to read.

If you get the chance to put sound in, do so, but keep it short.

Try not to use Microsoft backgrounds if at all possible; we've seen them - all too often.

OK so far ?

Right now this has Arial, simply because it came with this template.

No, I don't have a Microsoft background. Its an agriculture one.

Sound I don't need for the points the assignment is worth.

I have three colors of font total. One for headings, one for bullets, and one for the first letters only on one slide for effect.

NOW to get the information into it the right way. That's still the main problem.

I have no clue what this teaches me toward my psych degree, BTW.

I've seen a pychology study about the color pink. It's supposed to calm everyone down. Organization might have something to do with the assignment. Working with a boring subject and working with boring people might have something to do with the asssignment. Helping people to make others understand what's the right thing to do might be part of the assignment. Who the F knows, but you gotta do it.

Oh I get all that part, just not the topic itself. And yes, I will do it. I have done every assignment in every class so far.

(hug) sorry to hear that you have some added stress lately.

I'm doing well, getting used to my new job. hope you find something you like as much as I like mine.

so what's the plan for NaNoWriMo? got an idea for a certain category of story brewing?

What do you do for a living now? I work in healthcare. (wiping butt mostly )

NaNoWriMo... three ideas actually,
1. Proffessor Student Romance with a kinky twist.
2. Fantasy novel, where a young woman has incredible grief over the loss of her family and will stop at nothing to get revenge (while saving the day and falling in love.)
3. Working title : The Deathhouse : a twisted look at what happens in a medical facility.

What do you like best?

oh man... my first job was at a nursing home. yikes! I saw more nekid old guys as a 16 year old that I have in my entire life! (not that I wanted to at all) and I worked in the kitchen! lol I am working in a factory now, used to be a florist. I also teach floral design at our local community college.

I like the second one the best, but then my reading choices tend to be more on the vanilla side of things. which do you think you can stretch into 50,000 words the easiest? I'd go with that one.

This store doesn't sell Zeroes, although their gas station does. No Diet DP tonight, just a few of the sale items. Plus some I had coupons for. Yogurt, cottage cheese, a lettuce mix, detergent . . .
