Each student will choose a disease caused by a microbial agent. The microbial agent can be either a bacterium, virus, fungus, helminth, or protist. In the “Individual Assignment” module, there is a list of disease that you can choose from. However, feel free to pick something that is of great interest to you, even if it is not on the list.
2. Once you have decided on your microbe, you need to contribute to the discussion that is set up in the “discussion” tab to list the disease and causative agent that you have settled on. Please do this as soon as possible to secure the subject because each project must be original. No duplicates will be accepted. NOTE: Some pathogens may cause multiple diseases. Some diseases may be caused by multiple pathogens. If this is the case for your disease or pathogen, simply narrow your focus. Pick one and work on your presentation using the specific disease and causative agent.
3. The grading rubric that I use to assess your presentation is also included in the “Individual Assignment” Module. Please use it as a guide to prepare your presentation.
4. I have posted a video entitled “Helpful Hints”in the “Individual Assignment” module describing the terminology on the rubric and what is expected of you as you address each of the points.
5. You will compile a presentation in PowerPoint format to be submitted on canvas via “Studio” including at least the following information:
? Pathogenic agent(s): (Name, morphology, staining/metabolic characteristics) (5 points)
? Etiology / Manifestation of the disease(s) (10 points)
? Pathogenesis
o Portals of entry and infection route (5 points)
o Virulence factors(10 points)
o Epidemiology of the disease(10 points)
o Public Health responses & prevention(7 points)
? Credit slides: (3 points)
o Include the source of the information on each slide as a URL at bottom of slide
o Include a “works cited” slide to list all of the references which were utilized
Each presentation should be 7-10 minutes long.
Graphic pictures demonstrating disease manifestation are allowed (these are actually quite interesting and highly encouraged), but your presentation should include more than just graphic pictures.
PLEASE DO NOT JUST READ FROM YOUR POWERPOINT SLIDES!!! I can read for myself. Become educated on your topic and use the screen as a prompt for your talk.
SUBMISSION: You will submit your completed presentation to “Studio” on Canvas by the due date listed on the schedule. Just in case you have not used studio, in the “Individual Assignments” module, I have posted a video listed as "Studio"(Video): How to Submit Video Presentations Using "Studio" to help you navigate the program. If you do not have a screen recorder program on your computer, you can download one through “Studio”, and I have included instructions on that in the video as well.
