Overview

In this module, you learned how to select presentation topics and evaluate sources for credibility. In Milestone One, you will select a topic and credible resources based on a provided scenario, which you will continue to use throughout the course as you work on your course project. Selecting a topic and finding initial resources now will help you get a great start on your project and incorporate feedback from your instructor early on in the brainstorming phase of your presentation creation.

Scenario

Your manager has asked that each person in your department select an emerging policy, practice, or process that is relevant to your career or professional development goals and present it to the team in an informative, unbiased presentation to share information about a variety of career-relevant topics. Because this is intended as professional development, your manager has also asked that your presentation use a variety of scholarly and popular resources, which the team could consult on an ongoing basis to learn more or stay informed.

Prompt

As your presentation topic, select a current or emerging policy, practice, or process that is relevant and applicable to your career or professional development goals.

• Any: remote work policies
• Human resources/management: performance evaluation processes
• Criminal justice: body camera policies
• Education: personalized education plans
• Communication: First Amendment (free speech)
• Healthcare: HIPAA

You are free to select any one of these topics or another of your choosing. The above are just suggestions.
