MICROBIOLOGY (BIO 215) GUIDELINES FOR THE ORAL PRESENTATION ON EPIDEMIOLOGY AND BURDEN In groups of two (2) or three (3), you will complete one (1) oral presentation on the EPIDEMIOLOGY AND BURDEN of infectious disease. The presentation will be done during the last laboratory meeting of the semester. Each presentation will be about 8-10 minutes in length and all members of the group must orally deliver some content of the presentation. All students must be present on the day of the oral presentations. If students do not attend presentations or are not on time and present during the entire duration of the scheduled class time allotted for the presentation, the student will receive a zero for the oral presentation. There will be four (4) presentation assignments graded over the course of the semester. I. Submission of Oral Presentation Topic and group members (5%): due no later than week 4 II. Submission of Presentation Draft Outline (5%): due no later than week 12 III. Submission of group member(s) assessment (5%): due day of the presentation IV. Oral Presentation (85%): given on the last lab meeting of the semester The detailed descriptions of the assignments are located below. I. Submission of Oral Presentation Topic (5%): due no later than week 4 a. Select group member(s) and an infectious disease. To select a topic of interest, you should skim through Chapters 18-23 of your Microbiology textbook (Cowan and Smith 2015. Microbiology A System Approach. New York: McGraw Hill Education). b. Submit group member’s names and infectious diseases topic. i. No two groups will have the same disease. Therefore, topics are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Once you have submitted your topic, you will receive a message from me stating whether I have approved or disapproved your topic so please check your email. If I disapprove of your topic, you must resubmit to my email within forty-eight (48) hours to receive full-credit. Once your disease has been approved, you will need to research the disease. To locate resources on this type of information, you may use your textbook, our laboratory notes or you may search the Internet or the CCM library. If you are accessing the CCM library website from home, you may need to type your lastname.firstname in the “Please enter your username” box and the last four digits of your CCM ID number in the “Please enter your password” box and click “Login.” II. Submission of Presentation Draft Outline (5%): Due no later than week 12 a. To prepare for the oral presentation, your group will need to plan ahead. The first step in planning the oral presentation is to think about what the audience already knows and what your group wants them to know. Your group will want to try to teach the audience more than they knew when they walked into the classroom. Also, think about the reason why your group is giving the presentation. Are you trying to be informative (speaker wants to present research to others), instructional (speaker wants listeners to leave with new knowledge) or persuasive? In addition, consider the speaking environment. How much time do you have? How large is the audience? What presentation equipment is available? b. Next, you will want to prepare your first draft by writing your groups main points of each section in an outline format to organize your ideas and then determine how much detail your group would like to present about each idea. Then, transfer your groups outline to notecards, having one notecard per main point. Lastly, begin transferring each notecard to the PowerPoint slides. Each slide should be an outline of what your group would like to say. The oral presentation and PowerPoint should contain the following information. i. Title slide with a catchy and interesting title and your name. ii. Introduction that captures the attention of the listener and identifies the purpose of the oral presentation. iii. Overview of disease including some history, epidemiology and burden. iv. Summary of the topic that states conclusions and provides a take-home message for the listeners. v. References slide containing a minimum of three references from three different sources. The references must follow CSE format (see examples below). Below are the directions for uploading your oral presentations to Blackboard. 1. On the course menu on the left-hand side of the screen, select “Assessments.” 2. Click on “Oral Presentation on Genetics Techniques” folder. 3. Click on “Oral Presentation Submission.” 4. Click “Browse My Computer” to select the file(s) to attach as your submission. You must attach all parts of your submission at this time because you will not be able to submit additional attachments after you click the “Submit” button. Also, you can only submit your assignment once so please make sure you upload the final version and all parts of your paper. 5. Click “Submit.” The oral presentation outline must be submitted by one of your group members to Blackboard. No late or emailed presentations will be accepted. If the presentation outline is not turned in on time, this will result in a zero on the oral presentation for all group members.
