  • The Preparation Outline

    • As its name suggests, a preparation outline helps you lay out the main topics and sub-points of your speech.
    • Each item may be divided into additional sub-items or sub-points.
    • The body of your speech will contain the details and descriptors to support the main point, topic, or argument of the speech.
    • Here you will state each of the main points or topics you covered in your introduction, followed by supporting facts and details.
    • Sub-topics should be added underneath each main topic covered in the body of the preparation outline

  • Design Tips

    • Love it or hate it, PowerPoint, or PowerPoint type slides, are the most common form of visual aid seen during a presentation.
    • The following design tips can help users develop effective PowerPoint presentations, while keeping in mind PowerPoint etiquette .
    • Do not write the entire presentation on your PowerPoint.
    • Instead, create bullet points and headings no longer than three to five words that give the main points.
    • Use at least an 18-point font for main points and a smaller sized font for sub-points.

  • The Elements of a Slide

    • PowerPoint is a multi-media platform that incorporates elements of written, audio, video, and graphical communication.
    • Titles and sub-titles: After first opening PowerPoint to start a new presentation using the Blank Presentation Template, the user can select a title and sub-title for the presentation, using one of a variety of fonts and colors.
    • Shapes: PowerPoint can merge two shapes together to create a custom shape.
    • Search for audio and video from within PowerPoint to find images using Bing or Flickr and videos on You Tube.

  • Study Questions

    • Are there any cut points in the "star" network?
    • Which studies used the ideas of group sub-structures?
    • How is the population of Riverside divided into sub-structures?
    • How might the lives of persons who are "cut points" be affected by having this kind of a structural position?
    • How might the sub-structures in your real world case be described using the formal concepts (are the sub structures "clans" or "factions" etc.).

  • Components

    • Components of a graph are sub-graphs that are connected within, but disconnected between sub-graphs.
    • At this point, the non-isolated nodes all become connected into a single component.
    • Rather as the strict definition of a "clique" may be too strong to capture the meaning of the concept of a maximal group, the notion of a component may be too strong to find all the meaningful weak-points, holes, and locally dense sub-parts of a larger graph.

  • Factions

    • Imagine a society in which each person was closely tied to all others in their own sub-population (that is, all sub-populations are cliques), and there are no connections at all among sub-populations (that is, each sub-population is a component).
    • Most real populations do not look like this, but the "ideal type" of complete connection within and complete disconnection between sub-groups is a useful reference point for assessing the degree of "factionalization" in a population.

  • Introduction to bottom-up approaches

    • In a sense, all networks are composed of groups (or sub-graphs).
    • These kinds of approaches to thinking about the sub-structures of networks tend to emphasize how the macro might emerge out of the micro.
    • I make a point of these seemingly obvious ideas because it is also possible to approach the question of the sub-structure of networks from the top-down.

  • Blocks and cut-points

    • The divisions into which cut-points divide a graph are called blocks.
    • We can find the maximal non-separable sub-graphs (blocks) of a graph by locating the cutpoints.
    • The UCINET algorithm Network>Regions>Bi-Component locates and identifies blocks and cut-points.
    • Node 3, then, is a cut-point.

  • Understanding Copywriting + The Elements of Copy

    • From the consumer’s point of view each selling point answers the question, “What’s in it for me?”
    • Recapping SBC’s benefits we see that price is among the selling points.
    • Now the next selling point: Community, local, ownership.
    • Use different styles to write three headlines for each selling point.
    • At this point, most consumers know they can find brands online.

  • Highlighting parts of the network

    • Highlighting or focusing attention on sub-sets of nodes in a drawing can be a powerful tool for visualizing sub-structures.
    • By first displaying the first time point, and then adding subsequent time point, we can visualize the evolution of the friendship structure.
    • We'll take a closer look at UCINET tools for identifying sub-structures in a later chapter.
    • NetDraw graphs these sub-structures, and saves the information in the node-attribute database.Analysis>K-cores locates parts of the graph that form sub-groups such that each member of a sub-group is connected to N-K of the other members.
    • This is to say the board of education is quite "embedded" in a dense local sub-structure.
