So I just need an information outline over biomedical equipment technology. The PDF Information Speech Directions, have the directions for the outline and only worry about the outline. I've also attached an example of what the outline should look like if the material were Veterinary medicine.
Microsoft Word - Informative Speech Directions.docx Informative Speech You will prepare and give a brief, informative presentation which overviews a field you are interested in pursuing as a profession (for example, nursing, teaching, accounting etc.). You may want to tell us the history and background of the field, current opportunities, how much the field is growing (or shrinking), what kind of salary you could expect as a professional in this field, what kind of education is necessary, where the best opportunities are in this field, etc. You are not required to clear speech topics with me, but you may certainly solicit my feedback if you need/want to. Your speech must be between 5 and 7 minutes in length. Please note that, in terms of your grade, each 15 seconds you are under or over this time range results in a 2-point penalty. The information in your speech must come from credible, high-quality resources, not exclusively your personal knowledge. You may not edit your speech, it must be done in one continuous take. Editing clips together will result in a failing grade. The speech is worth 100 points and the outline 50 points. What Must I Produce/Submit? You are required to turn in: § A detailed outline used in planning your speech, formatted according to the example in the Developing and Delivering Effective Presentations learning module and described in the Part Five video. The content in the outline must be written in your own words based on the research you find. Copying sources directly or paraphrasing without crediting the sources is plagiarism whether intentional or not. Any outline found to have plagiarized content will receive a zero. Please note this is only for planning and may not be used during the speech. You will submit the detailed outline by uploading it through the assignment link under. Your document must be in Microsoft Word or PDF format, so that I can grade it within Canvas. Work not in Word or PDF format will not receive credit. During the speech, you should use no more than four 3x5 index notecards. Try to include only talking points/keywords on your notecards, since having too much content on the cards may result in poor delivery. § To create your speech, you will draw on reputable, credible sources of information. You will submit a list of a minimum of four reputable references used to compile your speech, formatted in either APA or MLA style (your choice). This should be included at the end of your detailed outline, within the same Word or PDF document. The inclusion of sources and selecting sources is discussed in the Part Two video in the Developing and Delivering Effective Presentations learning module. If you need assistance with creating your reference section, please check the Informative Speech Resources page. § Inclusion of references with the presentation: Additionally, you need to state your resources throughout your speech out loud. The sources will be structured within a sentence. Mention sources when you are using information drawn from those sources. Use the following format listed here. For a book, say the full title and author’s name. For a periodical, mention the full title and the date. For a website, mention the full name of the website or the actual URL, if it is not too lengthy. Basically, give enough information so that the audience knows where you have gotten your information and can locate these resources. A useful guide for using oral citations can be found on the Informative Speech Resources page. § Deliver your speech while recording, upload the speech video, and then post the video link to the Informative Speech assignment discussion board. Be sure to center the camera on yourself. Do not begin speaking until you have done so. You must deliver your presentation standing up, facing the camera, and your entire body must be visible to the camera, so that I can evaluate your delivery effectively. If you cannot get your entire body in frame due to space limitations, do whatever seems most practical. Dress for the speech should be at least business casual. Remember that your dress makes a statement about your attitude towards yourself, your topic and the occasion/class. Don’t make the wrong impression by being underdressed for your presentation. Editing of the video is not permitted and will result in a zero. Please ensure the recording device is stable so that I can easily view the speech. View your video prior to submitting it and ensure it functions correctly once uploaded.

Microsoft Word - Informative Sample Outline.docx 1 TITLE: VETERINARY MEDICINE: THEN AND NOW Thesis: Veterinary medicine is a multi-faceted career that first originated thousands of years ago. Purpose: To inform my audience about the modern-day career of veterinary medicine and its origins. INTRODUCTION I. How many of you have taken your pet to see a veterinarian at some point during your life? A. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, or the AVMA, more than half of U.S. households owned pets at year-end 2011, and three-quarters of these pet-owning households made at least one visit to the veterinarian during that year (Burns, 2013). B. Statistics gathered by the AVMA show that in the year 2017, there were a total of 110,531 practicing veterinarians in the U.S. (“Market Research Statistics: U.S. Veterinarians 2017”, 2018). C. The AVMA recognizes the vital roles veterinarians play in addressing the health and welfare needs of every species of animal, along with environmental protection, research, food safety, and public health (“Veterinarians: Protecting the Health of Animals and People”, n.d.). II. Without veterinarians, many of us wouldn’t see our pets live as long and healthy lives as they do today. A. Veterinary medicine first originated thousands of years ago. B. To become a veterinarian in today’s world, one must complete a long list of educational pre-requisites. 2 C. Veterinarians have many available career options to choose from. [Let’s take a closer look at the origins of veterinary medicine and how it came to be the profession it is known as today.] BODY I. Veterinary medicine has a long and ancient history. A. According to the article “A Quick History of Veterinary Medicine”, veterinary medicine has its roots in the Middle East, where its existence was first recorded in 9000 B.C. (Cole, 2014) 1. A few thousand years later, Egyptians living during the time period of 4000 to 3000 B.C. began experimenting with herbs to treat domesticated animals. The Kahun Papyrus from Egypt, dating back to 1900 B.C., has been identified as one of the first written accounts of veterinary medicine. (Cole, 2014). 2. A Babylonian by the name of Urlugaledinna, who lived in Mesopotamia in 3000 B.C., was considered an expert in healing animals. Many other groups of people also practiced animal medicine, including the Hindus, Arabs, Hebrews, Romans, and Greeks. In fact, the Greek scientist Alcmaeon performed animal dissections around 500 B.C. to obtain greater knowledge about animal anatomy and disease (Cole, 2014). B. As stated by an article in the journal Iowa State University Veterinarian, the first school of veterinary medicine was founded in Lyons, France in 1761 by Claude Bourgelat ("History of Veterinary Medicine”, 1939). 1. The first class to be admitted comprised of 38 students from a variety of European nationalities. The students were instructed on the subjects of 3 “zootomy… horsemanship, pharmacy, special pathology, surgery, and the principles of sanitation policies” ("History of Veterinary Medicine”, 1939). 2. The school soon gained worldwide recognition and was made a Royal School by Louis XV in 1765. Over the next 100 years, 18 more veterinary schools were established all over Europe ("History of Veterinary Medicine”, 1939).
