Middle Range Theory Critique Presentation
Guidelines and Grading Criteria
There are two parts to this assignment.
• Part 1: A PowerPoint non-narrated presentation (20-25 minutes or 20-25 slides) using the guidelines below
to critique the middle range theory you selected in Module 6, Question 2.
• Part 2: A 1-2 page handout in WORD (see the last criteria below).
Submit your PowerPoint presentation (label file with your name and name of theory) and your 1-2 page handout in
WORD (label file with your name and name of the theory) to the dropbox as 2 separate documents. After I have reviewed them, I will upload them to Couse Content Module 8 where you can see all of them. You have a Module 8
Discussion Board where you can post your evaluation and comments about 2 of them.
Note: You cannot narrate this presentation because the sound files would be too large. You cannot use Adobe
Presenter as I did because you would have to have the software and you would have to have faculty access to upload them. You won’t be verbally making a presentation because this is an online class.
