1) Biased writing shows partiality, preference, or prejudice for or against a person (or group of people), object, or idea. Everything can influence our personal bias. We all have biases but they only become a problem when we allow our biases to influence our opinions of issues, people, and logic. As in a research, we must ask if the source has a biased point of view and when we find a source like that, we must be careful to not be influenced by it.

2) A narrow question is when you can possibly have only one answer to it, so you add specifics and qualifiers to it, so the scope of the question will not be too large, but limited. The best example of it is "Who was president of the United States at the start of World War II?".

3) Drafting "is an early version of your presentation". In this process, the first priority is to get the presentation structure right. When you create the presentation structure you deliberately make and evaluate your choices early on, when they are still easy to change. The key to focus on structure is to avoid details altogether, so you basically define what to put together and in how many slides, for example, not caring by now of its design and appearance.

4) A way to find out that the source does not have bias is to look for how the author presents his ideas. He must "present two sides of an argument" at least, so you can understand the hole situation and make your own point of view.

5) An "outline" is created before your draft and helps organize your ideas for your presentation. It is a mechanical framework in which the contents of the presentation are put in order. It also serves as a guide to show the speaker the right path for the presentation.

6) Taking notes is a key part of the research process because it helps you learn, and allows you to see your information in a useful visual way. In this process you must take note of all the information about the source you can find, as "the source title", "the author" and "the web address", so you can find it again. Also writing down the "important points" or reference points while you are searching will help you keep focused and on the main ideas of what you found. This is not the moment to write down word to word or every detail. If there is a dense or large amount of information you want to keep, just write down the reference.

7) When trying to define your audience, the basic best question to make is "Whom is my assignment directed toward?". First you identify the audience in a demographic level, as the age, educational level and cultural background, for example. Then you dig deeper to the psycho-graphic level, finding out their attributes relating to personality, values, attitudes, interests, or lifestyles that will allow you to better understand what your target audience cares about, and why.

8) Depending on the slide image, there are some ways to improve it. If there are too many visual aids that make it hard to focus on the main idea or they make it overloaded, you should "reduce the number of the visual aids" selecting the best ones. If there is any text or words to small to be read by the audience (or even yourself), you should "increase the font size". If the background has a strong color or its color is being over the text or image the slide content, you should "darken the background color". If there is too many text to read or too many text information, you should divide it and "reduce the amount of text in each bullet".

9) When preparing for a presentation, some good actions will help best as "asking others to listen as you practice", so they can tell you any improvement points you didn't see yet, "getting plenty of rest", so you will be focused and with the energy needed to deliver it successfully and "thinking positively" since you had prepared it carefully and you are practicing all along, everything will be fine. Eating sugary or drinking caffeine will only make you nervous and anxious.

10) The ability to make effective and memorable oral presentations is one of the most important qualities to develop for a successful career. The key strategy to acquire the skill of delivering an effective presentation must be the constant 'practice'.

There are many others skills needed to prepare the presentation, as defining the purpose, analyzing the audience and locale, organizing the contents, using multimedia, citing sources and dressing appropriately, but if there is no constant practice on how delivering the presentation, there will have no effectiveness on it at all.

Here are the correct answers on edge:

1. It is helpful to ask “Is the information in this source from a biased point of view?” when evaluating a source’s (credibility).

(sorry I didn't get number 2 in my quiz)

3. A draft of a presentation (is an early version of your presentation.)

4. What is one way to determine that a source does not have bias?

(The author presents two sides of an argument. )

(i also didn't get number 5)

6. What should you include in your research notes? Check all that apply.

(the source title , the author, the web address , important points )

7. What is the best question to ask when you are trying to define your audience?

(Whom is my assignment directed toward? )

8. Look at the slide. How could the slide best be improved?

(by reducing the amount of text in each bullet)

9. Which actions are effective ways of preparing for a presentation? Check all that apply. (asking others to listen as you practice, getting plenty of rest, thinking positively)

10. Which strategy would be most helpful when preparing to deliver an effective presentation? (practice)

Here are some extra ones that you didn't have but I did on my quiz:

11. An effective multimedia presentation (answers the research question. )

12. During his presentation, Kent said the following: "And, like, um, the Vietnam War affected, you know, American society, in, ah, many ways.” How could Kent have improved his presentation? (by avoiding filler words)

I really hope this helps someone (sorry i could only show 5 pictures, but I assure these are correct!)
