Content Quality
Rating:
Strengths:
Overview is concise and offers a complete review of the program including outcomes and assessments. Contains assignments. Language is clear and easy to follow.
Concerns:
As a powerpoint much of the presentation must be offered by the presenter with the power point slides offering a more generalized outline. The first few slides are just backgroud information about the business school that the presentation was written for. A larger context than the power point alone is needed. It is also specific to one school and one program. It would require some effort to repurpose for more general use.

Powerpoint is needed.
