You will create a
(PowerPoint) presentation consisting of two parts:
NOTES ARE NOTE NEEDED!!!!!!! JUST THE PRESENTATION.
Part 1 –
SELF-REFLECTION
Part 2 – PERSONAL
DEVELOPMENT PLAN
SELF-REFLECTION
This part is
designed for you to demonstrate what you have learned from the course and how you can apply this
knowledge to your life and career. In each class, we discuss many different ideas, concepts,
and frameworks. You must choose TWO of them,
which you find particularly relevant to you from each
class and develop them (please
refer to the PPT with a brief explanation of each items to serve you as a guide
and below the topics chosen from each class), reflecting on your
experience and creating action points. You
should not re-write theoretical concepts, but rather customize them and provide your
audience with thorough and thoughtful analysis.
– First slide must
justify your choice of these two concepts. What made these concepts/ideas meaningful – their
overall relevance?; some situations from your past?; some new perspective you discovered?.
– Second and third
slides should focus on each of the chosen concepts respectively: reflect on your experience and
formulate specific action points relevant to you. Avoid generalizations and one-size-fits-all
ideas. If you target A grades, you must provide some relevant statistical data
and relevant research
findings beyond the content of the textbook.
– Recommended structure:
three slides for each of class as you can see the topics below in red (30 slides altogether).
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN PART
– This part should tell the audience about your own development plans. You must present short-term (1 year), medium-term (3-5 years) and long-term (10-20 years) plans separately.
– Recommended structure: one slide with list of goals for each plan and 1-2 more slides with some extra information: quantitative and qualitative KPIs, enablers, obstacles, measures, time frames, etc. (6-8 slides altogether).
– Try to be as specific as possible, making your plans tailor-made and relevant to you.

3. You’ve provided thorough in-depth analysis, supporting it with data and personal examples
4. Frameworks, ideas, concept and terminology from each class are used in your presentation
5. Your ideas are clear and logically structured, each part of your reflection ends with a solid conclusion.
6. Consistent terminology (terms of art) is incorporated naturally and used appropriately
7. Your slides employ grammar, punctuation and vocabulary appropriate for MBA level
8. Your slides are engaging for the audience: do not overwhelm them with text, use a variety of PowerPoint tools available
9. Your future plans are connected with the results of your reflection
10. You’ve properly acknowledged all sources you used, it is recommended to allocate 1-2 slides at the end of the presentation for references
11. In order to get A grades for the Final Project you must go beyond the content of the textbook and in-class explanations in your presentation, self-studying some concepts and using them in your slides.
Additional Requirements:
In general terms, when I read and assess your work, I also consider the following;
• How well you supported your assertions, did you provide examples, how well did you
contextualize the content, how well did you employ ‘terms of art’.
