latest thinking presentation

It is recommended that you use the relevant chapter from your textbook as a starting point for your topic
ideas, and then research your topic in more detail by looking for academic articles from the ACU library
databases and quality business press publications (for a guide to good journals, see the Learning Resources
page). For example, from chapter 4, you might examine the latest thinking on what we know about emotional
intelligence. Note, “latest thinking,” means research published within the last five years.
Using the text, plus a minimum of 15 high quality journal articles, design an interactive presentation to the
class that conveys the latest research and thinking on the topic, including the implications for practice. The
presentation will be a maximum of 30 minutes followed by 5-10 minutes of question and class discussion
time. All members of your group should help prepare the presentation, although you may choose how many
members do the in-class presentation. At least 2 members should present, but all team members must be
able to respond to questions.
The presentations should be pitched at a business audience, and be interactive and engage the audience
rather than simply talking for 30 minutes. Feel free to be creative (e.g., your team may pose as a consulting
company giving an interactive seminar to current or future clients) and use whichever presentation aids you
feel are helpful to convey relevant information and facilitate class learning and interaction (e.g., interactive
activities, case studies, video, roleplay, PowerPoint/Prezi, handouts, etc.) If you choose to use PowerPoint, a
maximum of 10 content slides is recommended.
