Topic: Draft research proposal & 5 slide power-point Presentation
Order Description
Assessment details
To help you pace yourself with the research proposal for Assessment 5, and in order to get timely
feedback on your progress with this major piece of work, you will submit a 1-2 page draft of your
proposal. Furthermore, you will deliver a presentation that summarises your proposal, which you
will share with your learning group.
Your presentation should take the form of a short voice-over-powerpoint recording that is not
longer than 3-4 minutes. The presentation should be supported by appropriate audio-visual aids
that can help your learning group to get a feel for your proposal. You will need to submit a link to
your presentation, posted to either Youtube or Vimeo (see the student toolbox for instructions on
how to do this, if you are unfamiliar), to your group discussion board for the Week 8 thread
discussing Assessment 2 presentations.
