Who:
This is an individual effort assignment from each student in the course.
What:
Pecha Kucha is a presentation style in which 20 slides are shown for 20 seconds each (6 minutes and 40 seconds in total). For this course, students are required to develop a Pecha Kucha presentation based on the chosen theme and issue(s) discussed in their Final Project Product Proposal, providing images on each slide to support the narrative of the presentation.

Students should NOT just read their final proposal as slides roll by. Instead focus on the high points only and assure the audio aligns with the photos being displayed. Also, use this to add information that was not mentioned in the final proposal.
We recommend using stock images and do not just download images from offline without crediting the source.
When:
This assignment is due during module 4 of the course.
Where:
Assignments will be uploaded to Canvas utilizing the upload link.
How:
Students may choose their own tool to record the pecha kucha. Just ensure the professor can access the final output. Popular presentation tools used for this include PowerPoint, Zoom, and YouTube. This method must be confirmed prior to actually working on the pecha kucha.
Why:
This aligns most with the learning objective indicating “Construct approaches that address healthcare reform initiatives (e.g., increase efficiency, effectiveness, or equity) that affect the delivery of healthcare systems locally, globally, and nationally (GE)”
