Many of these seminars are accompanied by power point presentations so you can “view” them as you listen to the speaker. Some seminars are not accompanied by graphics. After you have listened to your chosen seminar, prepare a 3-5 page narrative paper which addresses the following areas:

 

1. Rationale for your selection

2. Summary of the speaker’s key points

3. How this content is or is not reflected in your present work

4. How applying the speaker’s message can change your work place

 

Be sure your paper is in correct APA style (6th ed.), and there are no grammar or spelling errors. Please refer to your APA manual or see
