Encouraging Students to Take the Bus
Imagine that you work for a university as the head of transportation. You want to encourage people to take the bus, rather than park on campus, because spots are limited.
Prepare agenda slides (no more than seven slides) for students of the university.
Your presentation may include the challenges of parking on campus, the bus schedule, a cost comparison between driving and taking the bus, and any other information you believe may be relevant to persuade each of your audiences.
It is imperative that you strictly adhere to APA (6th or latest edition) formatting and citations.
