INSTRUCTIONS

Create and record a slide presentation with accompanying verbal  narration, which comprises a comprehensive synthesis of your research  and recommendations concerning ethical and cultural considerations of a  case study and a research-based plan to resolve the case.

The ability to organize and effectively present information is  essential for securing employment and for effective performance as a  professional. Fundamental skills include both appropriate verbal  communication and visual design using presentation software to convey  content to an intended audience.

Create and record a slide presentation with accompanying verbal  narration, which comprises a comprehensive synthesis of your research  and recommendations concerning ethical and cultural considerations of a  case study and a research-based plan to resolve the case.

While examining your previous assessments and making decisions about  the essential information that will be presented, it is recommended that  you begin by creating an outline and comparing it to the Comprehensive  Case Presentation Scoring Guide to ensure you have specifically taken  into account and addressed all of the grading criteria in detail.

Slideshow Instructions

You may use PowerPoint to create this slideshow, or if you wish, you  may use Prezi or some other option. However, PowerPoint is best  supported by the resources provided. You are responsible for making your  presentation work.

For each assessment you have written in the course thus far, create  8–10 slides that provide a high-level explanation or summary. In other  words, you should create a minimum of 24 slides, plus a title slide,  introduction slide, conclusion slide, and references slide. Use a clear  and concise structure.

• Title slide: On the first slide, enter:
  • A brief title of the presentation. Your name.
  • Course number and title.
  • Capella University.
  • FlexPath instructor’s name.
• Introduction slides: Provide a brief introduction to your presentation. Describe what you will be discussing in your presentation.
• Content slides: Provide a high-level overview of the salient points from Assessments 1–3.
• Conclusion slides: Briefly summarize your presentation. Provide a concise summary about the topics addressed.
• Reference slides: List all references cited in your presentation.

All slides should include presenter notes (a minimum of three  paragraphs) of what you will say for each slide. You may use information  directly from your previous assessments when writing presenter notes.  However, entries should be edited so that they are written as if you are  speaking to an audience or a potential employer, for example. You can  utilize the presenter notes when recording the audio piece of the  presentation.

Voice-Over Instructions

Your presentation should include a comprehensive audio voice-over  presenting essential information for each slide. Elements of good verbal  delivery include:

• Appropriate volume and clear pronunciation.
• Avoidance of audible fidgeting and distracting interjections.
• Variety of intonation and pacing and appropriate use of pauses.

Important: Before you record your presentation, it  is recommended that you allow ample time to practice your presentation  until you are comfortable with these elements.

Note: If you require the use of assistive technology  or alternative communication methods to participate in these  activities, please contact Disability Services to request  accommodations.

MY INSTRUCTORS FEEDBACK ON THIS ASSIGNMENT

 

Thank you for submitting your unit 4 presentation. You did not  include and present all of the information from your first 3  assessments.

Directions state, for each assessment you have  written in the course thus far, create 8–10 slides that provide a  high-level explanation or summary. In other words, you should create a  minimum of 24 slides, plus a title slide, introduction slides,  conclusion slides, and references slides. You included 8 slides plus  title and reference, introduction, and conclusion slides. You need to  fully develop your work to show your understanding and to meet all of  the requirements.

Directions state “All slides should include  presenter notes (a minimum of three paragraphs) of what you will say for  each slide. You may use information directly from your previous  assessments when writing presenter notes. However, entries should be  edited so that they are written as if you are speaking to an audience or  a potential employer, for example. You can utilize the presenter notes  when recording the audio piece of the presentation.” You need to include  presenter’s notes at least 3 paragraphs per slide.

You did not follow APA formatting rules. Continue to work on APA  formatting – this is an important part of scholarly writing in the field  of psychology – it gives you the author credibility. I recommend  reviewing the 6th Edition of the APA Manual as well.  Thank you for your hard work and best wishes to you as you continue on  in our program and beyond!!

Cheers!

The Core Assessment for this class requires you to write a detailed proposal for research you could conduct. You will not actually do this research (though it might form the basis for a senior research project or some research relevant to your job), but your proposal should be a “blueprint” detailed enough that you could hand to others and guide them through its successful completion. The research proposal will consist of four sections:

Core Assessment on Childhood obesity

1. Problem Statement: (max. 1500 words) an overview of the topic your research will investigate. It introduces and justifies your research question, key variables, their hypothesized relations, and your guiding theoretical perspective. It explains how your planned research is unambiguous in its goals and methods, concerned with a significant issue that will add to the store of human knowledge, theoretically justifiable and testable, practical and feasible to implement, ethical and respectful of human rights, and builds on existing knowledge in the field.
2. Literature Review: (max. 1500 words) a critical summary of existing research your project will build upon. Your review will evaluate at least five other relevant research projects from original sources in reputable, peer-reviewed journals. The lit review discusses previous research, as it influences the proposed project. It evaluates the methodological, theoretical, or substantive strengths or weaknesses of those studies and explains how they shape your research plans.
3. Design & Procedures: (max. 2000 words) describes and justifies your plans for measurement, sampling, design, analysis, and interpretation of results. It explains which data you would collect, when you would collect it, and what you would do with it to make sense of your topic and shed new light on your research question — and how and why. This section is a set of “how to” instructions for actually turning your “good idea” into a real plan for scientifically answering your original question.
   Your research proposal is a carefully constructed argument for why your question should be answered and how a valid and reliable answer might be obtained. It should be a meticulous set of instructions for generating an answer according to the rules of scientific method, and it should make the case to interested parties for how such an answer can be achieved.
4. Ethics & Conduct of Research: (max. 1500 words) summarizes potential ethical dilemmas, political consequences, and practical challenges associated with designing, conducting, implementing, and disseminating your research. It explains where your research process might go wrong and the safeguards you will put into place to minimize those risks.
