Senior Project

Directions for Outline of Oral Presentation

Ø     A one (1) page outline must be completed before the Oral Presentation

Ø     The outline must follow the format below

The following is a guide that must be used to develop your outline.  The outline should be viewed as a developmental tool for your Oral Presentation.  The outline and the Oral Presentation are not intended to be a minute-by-minute description of your Senior Project.  The outline should be a document that analyzes what you have learned from your Project.  Choose the parts of the Project that were most beneficial to you or had the greatest impact.  The outline below is developed to your advantage because it follows the format of the Oral Presentation grading rubric.

The outline must be typed or written on single side paper (no note cards) in legible form, and conform to the outline format that is below.  The outline must be separate from note cards used for your Oral Presentation.  The outline will be collected before the Oral Presentation, therefore, make a copy of the outline if the outline is to be used during the Oral Presentation.  Refer to the journal in the construction of the outline.

The outline must be completed and submitted to the Evaluation Committee on the day of the Oral Presentation.  If the student does not have the outline at this time, five points will be deducted from the final grade and he/she will not be eligible to graduate until the outline is returned to the committee.
