Week 7 Assignment – Professional Experience: Presentation Outline

Overview

The Professional Experience assignments have been designed to help prepare you for communicating in a professional work setting. When you are writing in the workplace, it is essential to make sure that you carefully follow any specific directions you receive. Sending poorly formatted or poorly written communications to managers or coworkers is not something you want to do! To earn full credit, make sure you complete all elements and follow the instructions exactly as written. Assignments that follow directions as written will receive full credit.

If you submit your Professional Experience assignment before the due date and you are not satisfied with your grade, you may resubmit it one time before the due date for a new grade.

Last week, you created a PowerPoint presentation; next week, you will submit an audio or video recording of that presentation. For this week’s Professional Experience, you will create an outline for your recorded presentation. You may use the outline example provided or create your own for this Professional Experience.
