20 POINTS

This module discussed the many components of the U.S. Delivery System. It is complex, and many people do not understand all the components or how they work together to provide health care and promote positive.

Requirements:

COMMUNITY PRESENTATION ASSIGNMENT GUIDELINES

1. You may use PowerPoint, Prezi, or other presentation software of your choosing. The one requirement is that I need to be able to review it without installing software on my computer. Before beginning this assignment, review the HSA PowerPoint Tools located in the Course Resources module.

2. This is to be a 15 minute presentation including the following:

3. Presentation should be 12 to 16 slides (not including title or references slides).

4. Use in-text citations for outside sources used on each slide where the audience may see the source.

5. Avoid full sentences and paragraphs. Use key bulleted phrases on the slide. The audience is better able to process the information.

6. Provide additional details [Required] about the information to be discussed during the presentation without making the slide too busy. If the software permits (i.e., PowerPoint) use the notes section to provide additional details. Otherwise, submit a separate document with your notes.

7. Do not use information taken directly from the source (i.e., no quotes).

8. Provide at least three scholarly references in addition to the textbook (cite on slide and reference at the end). Wikipedia, WebMD, Answers.com, and About.com are not acceptable resources.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
