Assignment 3: The Presentation 

Objective: Develop an audio-narrated PowerPoint presentation based on the research you have conducted about your chosen medical condition or disease

Assignment Instructions: Using the course project steps completed to date, you will develop your presentation based on the work you submitted for Assignments 1 and 2 as well as the feedback you were given.

To prepare for this assignment, I recommend that you do the following:

• Read these directions carefully.
• Review the presentation grading rubric below. The grading rubric is a detailed evaluation that I will use to assess your performance. It also will help you understand what is expected of you as you prepare your assignment.
• Message me with any questions!

Presentation requirements:

• Your presentation will be submitted as an audio-narrated PowerPoint, narrated by you, the student. You cannot use “text-to-speech” programs or technology that do the narration for you unless noted as an approved accommodation in a current DSA letter you have furnished to me. For instructions on how to create audio narration in PowerPoint, see the following link: Record a Slide Show With Narration. Audio narration is a requirement!
• There must be a visual element (e.g., photos, videos, graphs, figures).
• Your presentation must contain approximately 10-15 slides (excluding references) and run approximately 5-10 minutes.
• Please note that less than 10% of your presentation should contain direct quotes.
• Proper use and pronunciation of scientific terminology are required. For help with pronunciation, see this link: Meriam-Webster Medical Dictionary
• Be sure to properly cite your work, both internal to the presentation as well as within the reference slide (this includes photos, graphs, figures, videos, etc.).
• All references listed on the reference slide should be cited internally within the presentation, and vice versa.
• You will submit this presentation to your classmates to review and discuss as a part of the Week Eight Forum.

The required elements: Your presentation should contain the following elements in the order listed below.

In addition, I expect that any feedback provided to you from Assignment 1: Annotated Bibliography and Assignment 2: The Outline be incorporated into this assignment. Please go back and review those comments.I. Introduction Slide(s) – this section must contain the following:A. Student IntroductionB. Topic selection and reason for selectingC. Definition of medical condition or diseaseD. History of medical condition or diseaseII. Content Slides – this section must contain the following four main subtopics (the subsections below each subtopic are recommendations to use if appropriate to your disease/condition):A.

Types of determinants (e.g., causes, risk factors)B. Financial Costs1. Costs to the individual/family2. Possible costs to society3. Loss of productivityC. Anatomy & Physiology/Etiology1.
