The presentation should include a PowerPoint presentation which will be recorded via Kaltura.

Students should create the PowerPoint presentation offline and then open it for use during the Kaltura recording.

Students must practice/recording the presentation more than once to allow for practice and mastery of the content and presentation style. The final presentation of the Kaltura recording should be submitted only. Do not use PowerPoint to record the presentation.

Students should review their presentation for clarity in audio and sound as well as clarity in the information presented before the final submission.

Students should be professionally dressed in business casual attire for the presentation with/without lab coat. Scrubs, sweats, denim, yoga pants, and athletic wear are not considered business casual. Student's face must be visible via the webcam during the presentation.

The presentation should contain appropriate scholarlyevidence to support the information presented per APA format. Use in-text references and have a reference list at the end of the presentation.

PowerPoint slides should be used as cues to topics and key concepts without lengthy sentences and paragraphs- reading information from slides is not professional and therefore not acceptable.

A professional presentation includes an introduction both of yourself and of the topic, the touch points of information you're going to discuss as well as a conclusion.

Students may use any type and size font that works for their presentation. Slides should include bullet points you intend to cover, 4-5 bullet points per slide. The bullet points should be expanded upon with oral information. Direct quotes and paragraphs are discouraged. Speaker notes are not included in the presentation but are used by the presenter as a side-reference.

The student's oral presentation should demonstrate clear understanding of all concepts along with specific examples to represent concepts.
