Overview
This is a Bongo Learn practice assignment that allows you to practice a
presentation. You will benefit from getting both the automated feedback
from Bongo and instructor feedback prior to producing your final project.
Directions
Using the scenario linked in the Supporting Materials section, assume that
you are the cost accountant for your company, and the CFO has asked for
your analysis on purchasing materials from an online marketplace.
You will record a presentation in Bongo. You will prepare PowerPoint
slides that explain the key points to communicate to the CFO, utilize basic
visualizations, and present options for the CFO based on the situation.
Then, you will verbally discuss those slides in your Bongo presentation and
record the narration. Bongo Learn will provide automated feedback when
you complete your presentation. Take a screenshot of the feedback and
add the screenshot to the last slide in your slide deck before saving the
slide deck.
It is recommended that you try recording several times to feel comfortable
with your pace, volume, and diction.
Bongo Learn provides automated feedback about your presentation skills.
While this assignment is focused on presenting to stakeholders, the
content should be simple and direct. Your objective is to gain the
confidence you need to present orally and visually to an audience.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
