CJA 148 TC Conflict Management De Escalation Techniques Protests & Disturbances PPT CJA 148 Police Community Relations Class Project
One of the requirements for successfully completing this class will be the completion of a
presentation. As stated in the course syllabus, 150 points of your course grade is based on this
assignment. You will have until July 24th to complete the project. Late assignments will not
be accepted under any circumstances.
Due to the changes in our class meetings this semester, I will not require you to present your
project. However, Microsoft PowerPoint has a feature where you record your presentation as
you narrate it. I believe that Google Slides does as well. If you choose to do that, you will earn an
additional 30 extra credit points. The project is worth 150 points with the possibility of 30 extra
points. Your project can be either a PowerPoint presentation, a video, a Prezi presentation or
some other presentation medium you may choose. PowerPoint’s must be no less than 25 slides
in length and video projects must be approximately 10 minutes long. No less than 5 sources
must be included with your presentation. It will be limited to two students per topic. You
must submit your project topic choice to me by Friday July 3rd
. You will lose 10 points per week
after that date if I do not hear from you on your topic choice.
The topic can be chosen from the below listed subjects or another topic that you bring to me.
