Assignment 'B'
Answer 1:
There are seven steps generally in planning a presentation:
Choose your topic:
Choosing a topic is the most important step in the planning a presentation. If you do
not choose a subject you are interested in and will enjoy, you will likely not do a
good job. Your personal curiosity about a topic can give you energy to complete all
the steps required to reach the finished product, and the audience will be able to
sense your enthusiasm when you give your talk.
Prepare for what you will actually say in your presentation. Some people only use
outlines; some use an outline but write out their introduction and conclusion; others
prefer to write out their entire talk. You will need to experiment to determine what
works best for you. Whichever method you use, begin with forming an outline. List
the important points you want to make and arrange them in a logical order.
Pick a title:
Once you have your presentation all planned out, think of a catchy title. The title is
your first opportunity to capture the interest of the audience. It should make the
audience want to hear your presentation and wonder what it is about. You want
your title to suggest the topic without giving away the whole story. Spend some time
thinking about your title. Be creative and original.
Answer 2:
A formal report is written to present a new result, introduce a procedure,
marketing ideas or an issue. It provides the reader with the information, facts and
knowledge in a proper format. Formal report writing is very common in academics,
business report writing, government or federal investigations, medical reports, and
the engineering field, to present a new design, etc.
Formal report writing requires proper use of English. You need to submit your
report in the correct formal report outline.
Title:
The title page should have the subject of the report, whom it is written for, name
of the person submitting the report and the submission date.
Abstract:
The abstract should be around 100 to 200 words long, should state the reason
for writing the report, how was the study conducted, the important findings and
the significance of the findings. The abstract should be written in short and be
able to explain the entire report in a few words.
Table of Contents:
This is written on a separate page and should indicate how specific topics are
covered in the report. It should contain the list of figures and list of tables, if any,
mentioned in the report.
Introduction:
This helps you describe what is the report about, the need for the report and
what the theories are, or concepts used to explain the report. You define the
need for the project or study, who authorized the study and specific reference
terms.
Body:
The body is where one answers the questions, who, why, where, when, what and
how. This is the place where you convince the reader how your conclusions and
recommendations are reliable. You need to represent the information in a
systematic way. You need to use tables, graphs, pictures, etc. to support your
conclusions.
Conclusion:
This conclusion needs to be a brief paragraph where important results should be
placed first. Do not give suggestions in your conclusion and present only those
ideas that have relevant matter to support. Do not introduce new references or
thoughts in the conclusion.
Recommendation:
The recommendation should be a follow-up of the conclusion. You can make
suggestions and give new ideas for improvement, if any.
References:
List the references used in alphabetical order.
Appendix:
This page contains important data, illustrative matter, etc. that you have not
included in the data.
Answer 3:
Types of Interviews:
Competency-Based Interview:
Competency-Based Interviewing is the most effective method and can be used in
all types of interviews. It identifies the skills, abilities, and talents that account for
on-the-job performance. Integrating a behavioral competency model of
interviewing, supervisors and managers move beyond exploring the what and
when a candidate did something, to how and why they did it.
Panel Interview:
These are conducted by a small group of managers and/or campus
representatives (faculty, staff, students) and are the type most frequently used on
the campus. Panel interviews allow for various perspectives on the competencies
required for the position and each candidates qualifications, providing a more
objective measurement of the candidates ability to do the job. If the position
requires technical expertise that the hiring authority doesnt have, it is best to
include someone who has such expertise.
Individual interview:
These are one-on-one interviews. In some instances, the supervisor may
conduct the first round of interviews and select one to three finalists for the
manager to conduct final interviews.
Sequential interview:
Sequential interviews consist of a series of panel or individual interviews; the
purpose is to give various individuals or groups a chance to interview and assess
a candidate.
