FINAL PRESENTATION PROJECT INSTRUCTIONS
The purpose of the Presentation Project is twofold: (1) to develop a firm stand on content presented in a case you select and support by a demonstrated understanding of the course principles related to your assumed role in the respective case; and, (2) to demonstrate your ability to compose and deliver an oral message with clear and purposeful content, effectively organized. You will be responsible for recording a video lecture and a corresponding PowerPoint presentation. The video lecture must be uploaded to YouTube, and the PowerPoint presentation must be submitted through the assignment link. You will utilize these categories:
1. Introduction
2. Identification of your selected position/role in your selected case, and an overview of your main points in the presentation.
3. Description of the overall case content and main points in the selected case.
4. Description of your position on the issues and why.
5. Ensure you address the specific nature of the question assigned to the position selected for the case you have chosen.
6. Provide research that supports the position you have taken.
7. A selected plan of action related to your position, if you should be successful in gaining the outcomes you seek.
8. Conclusion
9. References in current APA format
This project must draw from the course text and at least 6 scholarly journal articles. These must be cited in a reference slide at the conclusion of your PowerPoint, which does not count in your total.
Chapter 9 in the textbook contains 10 cases. Each of the cases provides an opportunity for you to assume the various roles in the organization or union leadership that would normally be involved in the scenarios/negotiations presented in the case. Although each case has 3 questions asking you to assume various rolesthe allowable question/roles for each case are identified below:
Case 1: Question #2 - Legal Counsel
Case 2: Question #2 - HR Manager
Case 3: Question #1 - Labor Relations Manager
Case 4: Question #2 - Union Grievance Chairperson
Case 5: Question #1 - Legal Counsel
Case 6: Question #1 - Director HR
Case 7: Question #1 - Labor Relations Representative
Case 8: Question #2 - Union Grievance Chairperson
Case 9: Question #3 - Arbitrator

You will be responsible for recording a video lecture and a corresponding PowerPoint presentation (to be viewed simultaneously). The video lecture must be recorded using a digital video recorder or similar device. In order to post the separate video lecture for your instructor to review, please follow the instructions below:
1. Set up a personal user account on www.YouTube.com (if you dont have one already).
2. Download your video lecture to your computer.
3. Upload your video lecture onto YouTube.
4. Once your video is uploaded and processed, copy the link for your YouTube video and paste it into the assignment box in Blackboard.
YouTube can take up to 1 hour to successfully upload a video (depending on your bandwidth and site traffic). Once your video is successfully uploaded, YouTube will process your video in order to make it available for viewing. Since both uploading and processing can take an indeterminate amount of time, you should plan ahead so that you are able to post your video by the required deadline. It is highly recommended that you allow a window of at least 4 hours prior to the deadline in order to allow for potential hang-ups. Also, keep in mind that your video must not be less than five minutes or exceed 8 minutes.
The PowerPoint presentation that you create needs to correspond with the video lecture because your instructor will be viewing both simultaneously. Therefore, as you record your lecture, you will need to use verbal cues to indicate that your audience should advance to the next slide. Your PowerPoint presentation must be between 812 slides addressing the sections detailed above. (The introduction and reference slide at the conclusion does not add to the total.)
You will need to submit your PowerPoint presentation through the Assignment link. To do so, please follow these instructions:
1. Locate the assignment link in Module/Week 7.
2. In the subject box type PowerPoint Presentation along with your name. Example: Final Project: PowerPoint Presentation Mary Smith
3. Then, click on attach a file.
4. Click on Browse.
5. Locate your PowerPoint presentation on your computer. If you save it to the desktop, it will be easy to find.
6. Double click on the file and it should appear in the box next to the Browse button.
7. Copy your YouTube link and paste it into the comments box. This is a very important step otherwise your instructor will not be able to view your presentation.
8. Select Submit. Your PowerPoint presentation will now be available for your instructor to retrieve and view.
