Middle Range Theory Critique Presentation

Guidelines and Grading Criteria

There are two parts to this assignment.

• Part 1: A PowerPoint non-narrated presentation (20-25 minutes or 20-25 slides) using the guidelines below to critique the middle range theory you selected in Module 6, Question 2.

• Part 2: A 1-2 page handout in WORD (see the last criteria below).

Submit your PowerPoint presentation (label file with your name and name of theory) and your 1-2 page handout in WORD (label file with your name and name of the theory) to the dropbox as 2 separate documents. After I have reviewed them, I will upload them to Couse Content Module 8 where you can see all of them. You have a Module 8 Discussion Board where you can post your evaluation and comments about 2 of them.

Note: You cannot narrate this presentation because the sound files would be too large. You cannot use Adobe Presenter as I did because you would have to have the software and you would have to have faculty access to upload them. You won’t be verbally making a presentation because this is an online class.
