Epidemiology Conditions
(1) You have been assigned a topic area (on page 2). Choose a disease, condition, or phenomena from the field of epidemiology which you have been assigned. For example, a student can choose to present on heart disease, or a phenomena like stress in the workplace. Students can also choose to present on one exposure and the variety of associated outcomes such as silica exposure in miners. Students will be required to have their topic approved by the instructor to ensure individuality across topics. Refer to page 2 of this document for your assignments. TOPICS DUE June 1st, 2020.
(2) Presentations are not intended to be comprehensive, but they are expected to review epidemiologic concepts explored during lecture such as the following listed below. Note: If you do not choose a disease or condition then some of these will not be applicable. There is no minimum number of slides. Most successful presentations have a minimum of 10 slides.
a. Define the condition (Are there different criteria? Different definitions?)
b. Prevalence (What is the distribution in the population? Think about person, place, and time factors)
c. Exposures & Risk factors (quantified with research)
i. Example: Not “gender is a risk factor”, Instead: Women are at a (X) greater risk than men (must include comparison group)
d. Screening (How is the disease identified?)
e. Policy & Prevention Strategies (What is being done to lessen the burden of disease?)
(3) Presentations should have a script written in the ‘notes’ section of each individual slide. This will help mimic what it would have been like had this not been an online course and if this was an in-person presentation. The goal here is to bring your ideas together. This means that your slides should not include full sentences but rather bullet points. You may record your presentation onto the slides or using VoiceThread. Aim for about 15 minutes of presenting.
(4) A reference slide should follow the end of the presentation. I do not care which format you select (APA, AMA), but do not simply leave links as your references.
(5) The rubric follows and will be available via the Presentation dropbox.Total points: 15

| Content | Knowledgeable of content, adheres to assignment objectives, demonstrates mastery and understanding | Somewhat knowledgeable of content, mostly adheres to assignment objectives, demonstrates understanding | Knowledge seems questionable, important points are missing |
| Mechanics & Documentation | Is free or almost free of grammar and errors, appropriately documents sources | Has errors but they are not a major distraction; documents sources | Has many errors that obscure meaning or add confusion; neglects important sources or documents few to no sources |
| Organization & Visuals | The slides complement the “notes”, are neat, succinct, colorful, and creative | The slides somewhat connect to the “notes”, whole sentences are used, slides are mostly neat | The slides do not connect, are messy, lack color and creativity |
