Topic: Acute Ischaemic stroke management Selected an aspect of acute ischaemic stroke management such as the emergency admission, acute care, intensive care, rehabilitation, community or end of life care. Put together a 15-minute presentation using PowerPoint outlining the pathophysiology and nursing management. The presentation must be evidence-based with a patient-centered focus. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS WRITTEN IN THIS MESSAGE BECAUSE THE TEACHER IS TOO STRICT AND UNIVERSITY EXPECTATIONS ARE HIGH AS WE ARE STUDYING AT POSTGRADUATE LEVEL. MARKING GUIDE Structure 25% • Introduces the topic and stated aims of the presentation. • Clearly describes the way in which the presentation will proceed. • The presentation is structured in a logical sequence so that the content flows. • The presentation ends with a brief cogent, defendable conclusion that summarises the discussion within the presentation. • The time for the presentation is managed well, allowing adequate time for questions/debate at the conclusion of the presentation. Content and Critical Analysis 60% Content (30%) • The presentation has covered the topic sufficiently. • The presentation content has clear links to contemporary nursing theory and clinical practice. • The student's presentation demonstrates a depth of understanding of the topic and associated significant issues. Critical analysis (30%) • The presentation demonstrates a high degree of critical thought and insight by: o providing justification/rationale for the discussion o demonstrating they have reflected on the complex issues surrounding the topic o discussing the topic from differing perspectives, thereby providing a balanced discussion Discussion and Presentation Style 15% • Material is presented in an interesting manner. • The student uses learning resources appropriately. • The group's interest is maintained by the student. • The student: o is audible o faces the audience o responds to questions in an appropriate fashion o leads an interactive discussion that challenges the group to issues related to their nursing practice • This assignment is strictly checked according to the instructions given in the marking guide. So could you please make sure of meeting all points mentioned in the marking guide? • Presentation should include maximum 12 slides. • Each slide should have around 30 word , only key information should be included in slides. Along with this could you please prepare presentation or class notes for individual slides. Around 50 words you can add in each note and please make sure that presentation notes for all slides are not just the repetition of text written in slides. You can add graphs and diagram too ( Please also read the important instructions provided by tutors for preparing presentation in the last paragraphs). • THE TOTAL WORD COUNT INDICATED IN EACH SLIDE ABOVE EXCLUDE REFERENCING • All the information in the assignment should be evidenced based. • The total word count mentioned excludes referencing • It is not just the piece of paper explaining demanded content, It should address issues related to the nursing care and other important content described in the marking guide. • During presentation we can use either Harvard referencing system or Vancouver (I am going to attach file regarding Harvard referencing and Vancouver referencing system, please have a look at them)- • While making assignment with Harvard referencing guide., the presentation will Referencing in the assignment will be evaluated using the criteria below: • The referencing style used throughout a written assignment is congruent with this manual. • The reference list is accurate (i.e. no missing page numbers, volumes, correct title etc.), complete (i.e. no references in the body of the paper are missing from the reference list) and consistent with this manual. • The references cited are contemporary (i.e. less than 10 years old unless seminal papers). • Primary references are used predominantly (i.e. the original reference has been cited rather than a secondary source). • There is evidence in the paper that the student has conducted a comprehensive search of the peer reviewed literature for information related to the topic/issue. • All sources of information should be acknowledged. • Direct quotations are only used to make crucial points or to support the discussion/argument. Marking guides Marking guides for all assignments are placed in the course study guide under the • Formatting requirements • All assignments should adhere to the following guidelines: • Use headings to help define the structure of the work to make it easier to read and comprehend • . • There is to be a margin of at least 2.5cm on the left hand side. Use the font size 12 ( In presentation Ensure the font size suits the size of the screen so it is easy to see.), double or 1.5 spacing and justify both sides. Double space between paragraphs rather than indent is recommended. All pages must be numbered. • Common, compatible and web safe serif fonts to be used are as follows: For windows-palatino Linotype, Arial, Times New Roman and Georgia. For mac- Palatino, times, Georgia. • Choose one of these fonts only for writing assignments. The only exception is the use of headings • No more than three fonts can be used in an assignment and a maximum of two is preferable. • All text within an assignment must be 12 point in one of the above fonts. The University of Adelaide 8 • Headings can be in a larger font size. • Use only A4 size paper (unless otherwise specified in the study guide). • Work must be typed. Attention to presentation is essential as poor presentation detracts from an otherwise excellent paper and this may be reflected in the mark • . • The format of references should follow the School's style. This is outlined in more detail at the end of this section. The presentation and referencing for any essay or assignment must comply with the instructions. • Ensure to plan the presentation as carefully as for an essay. If you are provided with a word count this does not mean there should be that number of words in the presentation- instead you should spend the same amount of time designing the presentation as you would for an essay of that length. Prepare notes, which will act as cues during the presentation. Avoid reading out loud from detailed notes, as this can be very boring for the audience. Practice a number of times before the presentation day. This will help with timing but also allow you to feel more comfortable with the content to speak beyond the notes and not just read them aloud. You can use the notes function within PowerPoint to write and print notes for each page. This allows you to have notes on each printed page along with a picture of the slide. This will assist in not getting lost during the presentation. • The presentation should have: • an introduction, state the title or topic and aims of the presentation. Try to make the introduction interesting to catch the audience attention • a main body of the presentation, with clearly defined main points presented in a logical fashion • a conclusion, clear and convincing, that begins with the words 'in summary' or 'in conclusion'. Formally finish your presentation, for example by saying 'thank you for your attention' or 'any questions'. • References, A slide (or more) should be created with all the references used in your presentation at the end (the same as for any other written assignment). The references in this list should acknowledge all the sources you used to create the presentation. As with any assignment the reference for the information source/s is needed at the point of use as well as the full citation at the end of the presentation. Ideally you should also add a reference or citation next to each section of text that has been obtained from another source (even if it is paraphrased or re-worded). You can use the Harvard or Vancouver style for this (some find the numbering system Vancouver easier to use in presentations). The coordinator will usually specify the referencing system to be used. With either system you must ensure that the reference list at the end is formatted to meet the style requirements of each styleplease see referencing sections later on in this guide on how to do this. The University of Adelaide 11 • discussion time, Plan to ask questions of the audience throughout the presentation and/or at the end to stimulate discussion. But be prepared if no one asks any questions. You are expected to lead debate, stimulate discussion and answer questions. If possible involve all students in the discussion and ensure the debate relates to the topic of the presentation. General principles for visual presentations • Keep all visual material simple. Limit the amount of text on each slide- empty spaces will enhance readability. Ensure the font size suits the size of the screen so it is easy to see. • Use a template that is simple but effective (not too busy or distracting). Ensure text colour is easily read, avoid use of text transitions (fly in/out etc.) - they can detract from the information being presented. • A rough guide for the number of slides is one per minute of the presentation (this can vary significantly however) - practice the presentation to check length. • If incorporating pictures and diagrams ensure they are of high quality and contribute to the information provided. They should also be referenced (treat like a direct quote). • Use points in the presentation as a cue for the discussion rather than providing all content- i.e. talk about the information on each slide instead of just reading them out loud. The majority of information in any presentation is from the verbal delivery, not the text/tables on the slides. • Face and interact with the audience, not the screen. Use an electronic pointer if required. Ensure you speak at a steady rhythm (not too fast or too slow) Take your time and take a short break between each section/slide. Whiteboards
