INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Describe the signs and symptoms, risk factors. 

2.  Explain the effects of the disease on healthy body structure and function, and how these effects relate to signs and symptoms. 

3.  Discuss the tools or diagnostic tests that are used to make the diagnosis. Explain, in general terms, how each tool or test works and how the data from the tool or test conveys the relevant information to the clinician about the body function or structure that is impacted by the disease. 

4. How can this disease be prevented? What are characteristics (age, sex, race and ethnicity, socio-economic status) of people that tend to get this disease? 

5.  You should have at least five credible sources (you may use your references from Part I as part of the references) from journal articles, reliable websites or book chapters for your choice of disease. Please review the UMGC resource Is My Source Credible. Sources need to be credible in order to receive points. Cite your sources in APA format.  See APA 7th Edition Citation Examples: General Rules. 

Download the desktop version of Power Point on your computer if you have not already. This is needed to add narration. All UMGC students can download Office 365, including Power Point, for free:

2. Include a title slide -presentation title, name, course, instructor, and due date. 

3. Presentation information slides – suggested 8 - 15 slides (it is more important to remain within the time range of the presentation - between 4 to 7 minutes). Do not overload your slides, it is always best to identify the important points. Ideally, a slide should have 6 – 7 bullets (maximum) and 6 – 8 words per bullet. Avoid full sentences. 

4. Presentation font: You may use a larger font size for the titles (up to 40) and smaller for the content (not smaller than 28) and 10 for references. 

5. Add images that contribute to the information that you are sharing verbally. Add the URL to the website where you found an image, below each image you use (small font is OK to make it less distracting) or include these in the reference list at the end of the presentation.

Basic PowerPoint Guidelines 

Narrated PowerPoint instructions 

  1. Write a script for your narration for each slide in a Word document. It is OK if you do not strictly follow the script when you narrate.  
  2. Record your narration in Power Point. Go to Insert and click the Audio icon (to the right in the editing bar), choose Record Audio... from the drop-down menu. Click the red button to start your narration, then the blue button to stop. Check that your recording is OK. You can delete a recording and start over, and you can also do some minor editing by cutting off the start and/or end of the recording. Repeat for all the slides in your presentation. You may want to move the narration icon that appears in the middle of the slide to a corner.
