This presentation (6-8 minutes, with visual aid) develops out of our work on the Formal Report. In terms of audience, you should once again imagine yourself presenting to a team or group of colleagues at a company or organization who are all addressing the same issue together with you. Your main goal is to advance a set of recommendations for the team to follow, address, or work toward (the last section of your Formal Report) regarding your issue, but you will need to draw on the other sections of the report to support your recommendations.
In your recommendations, you should aim to be as specific and practical as you can be. In our Q&A session, the class and I can ask you questions about your topic and research, but we will be particularly interested in discussing the feasibility of the recommendations: how will this work? do we have the resources and budget for this? what exactly will the recommendations achieve? why is this approach better than other possibilities?
Your visual aid can be projected on the screen and/or be presented as a handout with relevant materials.
