Final Project Scoring Guide

There are 22 slides above (23 less extra credit one equals 22).  Each slide is worth 4 points.  That is a total of 88 points.  Add in the 10 points each for "Conventions", "Organization & Structure", and "Presentation Appeal", and that will total 118 points.  Divide that by 4 and times by 3 and the total points for the Final is 88.5 points.  I had to drop numerous slides and points due to the weather.

If you are already admitted to Mt. Hood or received a student id number when your applied for admission, then the class is "HD110" section "80".  My name will appear as one of the classes.  Select it and then add for Winter term 2016.


Read the slide tutorial and work on it individually.
