  3. Rules • Company must be publicly traded (SEC filings provide information that we will need in our presentations). • Each group in each class period must present on different companies (there are thousands to choose from). • Facts and presentation style matter.

  4. Grading • There will be 8 points that you will be graded on. Each element will be worth 12 ½ pts each. • Excellent = 12.5 pts • Reasonably good = 8 pts • Defendable but multiple weaknesses = 4 pts • Missing or glossed over (rushed, poor) = 0 pts

  5. 8 Elements of grades • 1. History or background of the company – tell the story of what we are talking about. Who were the founders? How did they grow? How long have they been around? • 2. Who are the main competitors? Where does your company rank among the competition? Who is rising and who is falling?

  9. 8 Elements of Grade • 8. Presentation points in speech – How well you communicate with your audience…key points here include making eye contact with audience, speaking clearly, knowing your information without having to read verbatim, and selling your ideas (positive or negative towards your company are ok as long as you present factual reasons behind them).
