Developing the ability to transform a set of data, statistics, and data into an attention-grabbing and engaging visual aid that emphasizes key points can be a challenging, but worthwhile, exercise. There are a number of useful resources to help identify appropriate visual aids by the type of data and how to use color to focus attention on key statistics. One type of visual aid is a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation.
For Part II of this Assessment, explore how PowerPoint can be used to create an effective presentation. Consider other types of visual aids that can be used to communicate criminal justice data. If you have not already, review the websites located in the Learning Activities to help find your data needed for this Assessment to locate the three data sources to support your argument. You are to create a 5- to 6-slide PowerPoint presentation. Your presentation should include:
• Title page.
• Per slide create YOUR OWN visual aid for each of the sets of data (for a total of three visual aids). These can include graphs, tables, pictures, etc. Your visual aids must be developed on your own and are not taken from another source (i.e., you will be creating your own charts and tables, are not copying an already created table or chart and turning it in, and must include the complete citation/reference for your submission and data).
• Reference page.3
