Week 7 – Signature Assignment: Create a Professional Tutorial
Hide Folder Information
Instructions
For this assignment, you will bring together everything you have learned so far in this course about
scholarly writing, professional writing, public speaking, multimedia presentations, and best practice
communication strategies. You will be creating a 10-minute professional tutorial in the form of a
recorded and narrated presentation. In Week 8 of the course, you will also have the opportunity to
give and receive peer feedback on this Signature Assignment.
You may select any topic that advances your own professional career or personal pursuits for your
tutorial. You are encouraged to create a presentation that you can share with others outside of the
course after it has ended. As a few examples to get you started, this tutorial could cover a challenging
task you and your coworkers are asked to perform at work that could use more clarification, a process
that you wish to have your direct reports at work follow to complete a task, or you can create a
tutorial for people in your personal life about a responsibility or task they need additional direction to
complete. Creativity is encouraged with this tutorial, so feel free to pick a topic relevant to you, and
please select tools to create it that best fit your intended outcome.
Your tutorial will be measured on your ability to incorporate best practices covered in the course.
Specifically, your focus should be on:
Incorporating best practices in public speaking for professionals.
Using effective communication strategies outlined in this course.
Using effective multimedia strategies outlined in this course by including at minimum an audio
component to accompany your presentation.
Using communication strategies appropriate to the medium and audience.
The first step is to create the slide show that you will use during the narrated presentation of your
tutorial.
You may create the slides for your tutorial using PowerPoint, Google Slides, Prezi, or another
tool of your choice that will allow your audience to read, view, and hear your tutorial as you present it.
The second step is to record yourself narrating your presentation using the Kaltura tool in NCUOne.
Information can be found in the resources for this week.
If you wish to use an alternative software,
such as Prezi, be sure to communicate with your professor well before this week to discuss the best
approach. to create and record your tutorial.
Please remember that an effective presentation should
have slides that highlight only the most important points that are being presented and that are
visually appealing and engaging for the audience.
Remember that will need a peer reviewer for your Signature Assignment in order to complete next
week’s assignment. You may choose a colleague, friend, or family member. If you want to ask another
NCU student to serve as a peer reviewer, check out the dedicated thread within the SOE Community
Forum in the NCU Commons; you can find the link in the Course Resources tab. Consider sharing your
Signature Assignment as soon as you submit your assignment to the Dropbox so that your peer
reviewer has plenty of time to review your assignment and offer feedback, and that you will have time
to receive that feedback, reflect on it, and prepare your Week 8 assignment. If an NCU student does
serve as your peer reviewer, remember to return the favor for that student or another student in the
future.
Length: 10-minute recorded and narrated presentation with at least 10 slides
References: Include at least three appropriate references that support the information shared in your
tutorial in a final slide or visual, displaying your references in APA format. If you have consulted an
expert to create your tutorial, personal communication citations are appropriate for this assignment.
Your tutorial should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the
course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should
reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University's
Academic Integrity Policy.

Week 8 - Assignment: Incorporate Constructive Feedback into Your
Work
Hide Folder Information
Turnitin™
This assignment will be submitted to Turnitin™.
Instructions
This week, you will practice incorporating constructive feedback into your work. You have identified a
colleague, friend, family member, or fellow NCU student. If you are still looking for a peer reviewer,
you may find one in the dedicated conversation in the SoE Community Forum within The Commons;
the link is available in the Course Resources. If an NCU student does serve as your reviewer, remember
to return the favor for that student or another student in the future.
Share your Signature Assignment as soon as possible. Your peer reviewer needs plenty of time to
review your assignment and offer feedback early enough that you will have time to receive that
feedback, reflect on it, and prepare this final assignment. Ask your reviewer to offer written feedback
that includes:
Two things that were done very well and why those things followed communication best
practices
HOW those two things followed communication best practices
Two specific areas where you could have improved your work using
communication best
practices
You may want to ask your reviewer to submit the review by Wednesday. By Friday, have a conversation
with your reviewer to discuss how the feedback made you feel and whether the feedback was useful
for making improvements. While a telephone conversation would be best, a chat using instant
messenger or an email conversation will do. If you offered feedback on your peer’s work, be sure to
ask your partner how you could improve your feedback for next time.
By the usual submission deadline on Sunday (unless you have an approved accommodation), you will
submit a summary of your feedback conversation to your professor as the second part of this
assignment. Reflect on what you learned about receiving – and maybe offering - feedback. Be sure to
note how you might revise your work based on the feedback.
Remember, if an NCU student served as your peer reviewer, return the favor for that student or
another student in the future. When you have the opportunity to offer feedback on this assignment or
other work in the future, think about your tone, word choice, writing style, editing; offer
encouragement while promoting improvement. Be sure to show your professional writing skills by
editing your feedback and presenting it in a visually appealing and easy-to-follow format.
Length: Submit the 1-page feedback document you sent your partner, along with a 1-page summary of
your feedback conversation with your partner.
References: No references are required for this assignment.
Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in
the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Be sure to adhere to
Northcentral University's Academic Integrity Policy.
