1. Required Slide Elements:

1. Proofread your slides carefully for errors in spelling and grammar. Overall appearance counts. Consider how you can go beyond the project instructions to create an effective and visually pleasing presentation.

Using APA in a PowerPoint presentation works much the same way as in a research paper.

• “Direct quotes” (Author/Source Material, Year)
• Paraphrase (Author/Source Material, Year)
• Clip Art – no citation needed
