Part II: PRESENTATION: (due week 7 in the assignment folder, and in week 8 into a designated discussion post).

INSTRUCTIONS

A. Describe the signs and symptoms, and risk factors.

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

C. 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.

D. 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?

E. 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 https://sites.umgc.edu/library/libhow/credibility.cfm. Sources need to be credible in order to receive points. Cite your sources in APA format (7th edition). See https://libguides.umgc.edu/apa-examples.

How to Create a Narrated PowerPoint Presentation and Upload to YouTube

1. Download the desktop version of PowerPoint if you have not already. This is needed to add narration. All UMGC students can download Office 365, including PowerPoint, for free.

2. Create the slides in PowerPoint*

Your presentation should include the following:

  1. Include a title slide -presentation title, name, course, instructor, and due date.
  2. 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. Cite sources of information in the slide text.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. List all references on the last slide of the presentation.

*Alternatively, you can use Google Slides or any other slide program you are familiar with as long as it supports narration and upload to YouTube. Here are some resources you may find helpful when creating the PowerPoint presentation:

3. Write or autogenerate a script for your narration** for each slide in a Word document. The narration should be fully paraphrased in your own words, your own writing style, and structure. Changing a few words in sentences obtained from information sources is not fully paraphrasing. It is OK if you do not strictly follow the script when you narrate. **An alternative to writing the script prior to the narration is to follow this approach to download an automatically generated transcript from YouTube (Note: you need to allow extra time for the closed captioning/transcript to be generated, remember to choose the language as “English”), see this video for more detail if you want to use this approach: Easiest Way to Download YouTube Transcript/Subtitles as Plain Text.

4. Record your narration in PowerPoint.***

You must use your own voice to narrate the video. If you need special accommodations, please inform your instructor.

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. ***Alternatively, you can record your presentation in Zoom (if you have an account that allows recording), or another screen-sharing and recording program you are familiar with.

5. Save your presentation as MPEG4 file. Once your narrated PowerPoint presentation is completed, save it on your computer as an MPG4 file video by clicking File > Save > Choose MPEG4 format from the drop-down menu. Creating the video will take a few minutes. You can see a progress bar at the bottom.
