Description
Summary:At present, oral communication and presentation skills are important components of accounting education. Students can improve their oral presentation skills when they know the expectations for effective presentations, give multiple group and individual presentations, and experience consistent instructor feedback. The authors use a case study methodology to describe a systematic approach to embed team and individual presentations in undergraduate and graduate accounting courses, include presentation competency descriptors, present an oral presentation assessment rubric with selected outcomes, and conclude with a discussion of the observed strengths and weaknesses of the case study.
