CAD 510: Individual Research Project with a Presentation
Presentation MUST be posted by March 15, 2021
To complete the assignment, follow the steps outlined below:
1. Identify a topic from the Leadership Topic List (there are many choices, select what you are most
interested in, yet consider a topic that others may not). The list is also in the “Forms” folder in
iLearn.
2. Rather than writing a “research paper” you will create a presentation that will be uploaded into a
Discussion Forum, which all students can review. Use your imagination and creativity. You may
choose the choice of medium used (PowerPoint, Google slides, videos, Loom, etc). Make sure to
include the following:

A brief summary of the topic, including the most important details necessary for the class to
understand it
 An explanation of how this case relates to class concepts (i.e., key terms and core ideas
discussed in class and the textbook)
 Information from the research to support your presentation
 Citations throughout your presentation anytime you refer to an outside source (including
the textbook)
 Thought prompts to encourage student reflection/participation/engagement/reaction, etc.
 A final slide with a complete list of references used
3. Research the topic selected. Strive to review a variety of resources.

You can use Wikipedia for introductory research. But, because Wikipedia articles can be edited by
anyone and therefore aren’t 100% credible, this should not be the only source used for your
research; so, do not use Wikipedia as a primary source for your research.

When it comes to expanding on research options, the references section of a Wikipedia page is
one of your best friends. Just like you should be citing your sources at the end of your research
project, Wikipedia articles link to their primary sources. You can use the list of references to find
books, articles, and other material that can help you find reliable, relevant primary sources for use
in your research.

On or prior to the assignment due date be sure to Post (upload) your completed
presentation into the designated Discussion Form, so others can view.
4. Upload your completed presentation into the Discussion Forum that will be available in Week 8.
See grading rubric below and additional supports (for example “How to write a Research Paper”
which provides 10 steps that you may find useful.
The following rubric will be used to evaluate your performance on this assignment. Please note
that there are two components of the assignment (the presentation itself, and the summary
sheet).

Tips for organizing your presentation:
1. Avoid overly lengthy summaries

You are expected to summarize the main details of the presentation (using the textbook and
research to support your summary) in order to provide context for your presentation. However,
keep your summaries brief. You will not be able to cover every detail of the textbook or
research during your presentation, and you will lose your audience’s attention if you get lost in
these details. (see the tips on how to give a presentation).
2. Include thought prompts

One of the goals of this presentation is to get your classmates to reflex on the content. Provide
a few thought provoking questions or comments. Ideas for discussion items: Surprising or
unexpected details/results, questions that are left unanswered about the topic, critiques of the
research study and/or the authors’ conclusions (including Sullivan!), a different interpretation of
the topic than the authors’ interpretation, how the topic relates to real world issues of child
development, and areas for future research.
