Final Project Pamela Y. Campbell February 16th, 2011 Axia College Final Project 2 Good job on your Email Etiquette CheckPoint. You have a good judge of appropriate business communications. Your rewrites were good. However, email 1 is appropriate for the workplace because it creates a paper trail. Email 4 is not appropriate for the workplace because it does not promote goodwill, it is not concise and there are instances of all caps. A rewrite is necessary. Please be sure to make these corrections for the Final Project. No title page. Final Project 3 Axia College Material Appendix D E-mail Etiquette Read the following e-mails.

E-mail OneTo: TomSubject line: Talent ReallocationTom,This e-mail is in reference to the two employees who are going to be terminated Friday. We have determined that they are Nicole Stone and Lorenzo Torres. As we discussed yesterday, their performances are not on par with those of other employees in the accounting department; interventions with these employees have not been successful in helping them improve their performance. Let’s plan to meet with them individually in the conference room between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m.Thanks,Andrea | Responses to questions 1 and 2.

Your presentation lacked font and information. Your presentation should be able to stand alone. Please add more font to explain the steps in an Oral Presentation. The central purpose of any presentation written, oral, or visual is communication. To communicate effectively, you must state your facts in a simple, concise and interesting manner. There are ten steps in preparing an effectively oral presentation. 1. Determine the purpose of your presentation and identify your own objectives. Research your subject, read reports and look up information about the subject with the specific purpose of writing an oral presentation. 2. Know your audience and what it knows, a small amount of research into the make-up of your audience will reap large benefits on presentation day. 3. Define your topic, all presentations regardless of their complexity are designed with a single purpose to sell, educate or entertain keep that purpose in mind as you begin your process. 4. Arrange your material in a way that makes sense all scripts should consist of four basic parts an opening, body, summary, and closing. 5. Compose your presentation make sure all parts of your presentation are free of grammatical errors and is clear to understand. Final Project 6 6. Create visual aids selecting the proper visual aids is important for example, a five minute presentation is probably good to use handouts and a longer and larger audience presentation should include overhead slides to keep the audience attentive. 7. Practice your presentation rehearsing your presentation with family and friends is an excellent way to get positive and negative feedback on your presentation. 8. Make necessary adjustment correct all errors that you see or that was given to you and always look at timing to make sure you do not overdue your presentation. 9. Analyze the room and audience making sure you have set up and lighting and equipment is working properly. 10. On the day of the presentation arrive early to set up and go over all materials again. Remember to speak clearly and answer all questions if possible, if not give them information to return their answer at a later date.
