Presentation Format and Length

You may use Microsoft PowerPoint (preferred) or other suitable presentation software to create your slides and add your voice-over. If you elect to use an application other than PowerPoint, check with your instructor to avoid potential file compatibility issues.

Be sure that your slide deck includes the following slides:

• Title slide.
  • Recovery plan title.
  • Your name.
  • Date.
  • Course number and title.
• References (at the end of your presentation).

Your slide deck should consist of 8–10 content slides plus title and references slides. Use the speaker’s notes section of each slide to develop your talking points and cite your sources as appropriate.
