MARK 490 – TEAM PROJECT PRESENTATION – SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY
1. Presentations will be held during class time on Wednesday August 5th, 2015. Put yourselves into the position of making a presentation of
the main highlights of your report to your "client".
2. You may use PowerPoint, Prezi, or other presentation software, plus whatever other visual aids you think will best get your point across.
Please avoid slides that are too text-heavy. Remember that your "client" will have a copy of your full written report, so your presentation
should not attempt to cover everything.
3. Each team will have 10 minutes for their presentation, plus 5 minutes for questions.
4. Please come prepared to listen and ask questions as well as make your own presentation.
5. The table below gives some presentation hints and shows how the marks will be allocated. The presentation is worth 10% of the grade for
the course.
