Paper instructions:
REMEMBER TO KEEP TO THE BRIEF AND ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
Brief:
You will present a clear and concise 20 minute presentation on the interactions between the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system. You will also consider the impact that this integration may have on thermoregulation and how this affect is mediated within the two systems.
Assessment Criteria:
1. A clear, concise, well written and well presented talk that covers both learning outcomes and is appropriately referenced (85%).
2. Detailed and well referenced script that support the assumptions of your talk (15%)
HAVE INCLUDED A FILE called example of a past paper that shows what harvard referencing should look like called EXAMPLE PLEASE LOOK AT THIS.
YOU MUST LOOK AT JOURNALS FOR THIS. Where possible reference from up to date journals (from the last four years) and reference from the suggested reading list at the bottom of the instructions. As a rule use around 1 reference (from different sources) for every 100 words, use journals mainly, up to date books and try to stay away from webpages.
Assignment Title: Presentation
LOOK AT THE FILE Suggested layout for presentation. The presentation can include an activity for the audience, clips/ videos (no longer than 5 min) and time for questions and answers. It is more of a micro-teach than an academic presentation. Aim to be talking for around 7 minutes before playing a good resource and feedback and/ or questions/ video clips.
Remember to keep to the suggested layout for presentation file.
0-7
What I need you to do is provide the script along with powerpoint; this script must be close to 900 words to last 7 mins. You will also need to include a powerpoint presentation with slides that will go along with the script. The script must be numbered according to the appropriate slide so that the reader will know when to change slides. Where it says introduce topic and discuss your particular angle of interest (on the interactions between the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system) for this, you can choose this. Though I suggest choosing to discuss interactions between the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system when under the influence of an illegal drug such as opium or sleep deprivation (if that interests you too).
Do not make introductions to the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, as there are no marks for that in the brief. You could however introduce the interactions between the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system.
Remember to discuss “also consider the impact that this integration may have on thermoregulation and how this affect is mediated within the two systems.” From the brief.
Do not write a general script of the interactions between the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system. Write a script with the angle of interest in mind.
7-13
I suggest choosing to link in a relevant video to the angle of interest into a slide in the powerpoint presentation for this (no longer than 5 min). With small intro/conclusion in script about 100 words.
13-16
Summing up your particular area of focus and suggesting further reading, Script is about 350 words also include a relevant slide for this into the powerpoint presentation.
16-20
Questions and answers along with slides, script is around 150 words.
20
End with a slide of the reference list.
Learning Outcomes:
Demonstrate an awareness of the functioning and integration of the major body systems
Develop awareness of the processes involved in maintaining homeostasis
Rationale:
Key skills at level 5 include the ability to research relevant information and assimilate an appropriate response to a set question. This must be achieved in a clear and concise manner which will depend on your ability to communicate your findings. This assignment assesses these skills in the context of an oral presentation. The set question allows you to direct your research and link the course content with the learning objectives of the course in a peer-reviewed format. This assignment aligns with two learning objectives of the course which you must ensure are responded to in your submission.
Brief:
You will present a clear and concise 20 minute presentation on the interactions between the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system. You will also consider the impact that this integration may have on thermoregulation and how this affect is mediated within the two systems.
Assessment Criteria:
3. A clear, concise, well written and well presented talk that covers both learning outcomes and is appropriately referenced (85%).
4. Detailed and well referenced script that support the assumptions of your talk (15%)
Format:
All text should be fully justified, size 12 Arial font, with 1.5 line spacing, and normal margins. All work must be presented in a suitable interactive format (PowerPoint/ Prezi). You must submit a completed assignment submission cover sheet. Reference relevant sources using the appropriate Harvard Referencing system.
