Vacation.", or “What I Plan to Do for My Next Vacation”
or the subject of your choosing.
- If
you choose to discuss your vacation or the like, you should figure out how
to weave in graphs and lists to complete the assignment. Whichever you choose, the slideshow must be UNIQUE and PERSONALIZED
to you and what you have done.
- 30
percent of your grade is based on your creativity with this assignment.
(Use of different fonts, backgrounds, etc.) So a basic fulfillment of the
requirements will only give you 70% of the points.

vacation, etc.)
- You
can use any type of graph
- The
x-axis should be the numbers of the homework assignment (or text )
- The
y-axis should be the rating
- Includea few lines of text describing the graph

generally do not use spaces in a filename. If you want to have a

“finalproject.ppt”
