Before You Start:
To prepare for this assignment, I recommend that you do the following:
Read these directions carefully
Read the BIOL181 Mini-Presentation Grading Criteria. The grading criteria is a detailed evaluation that I will use to assess your performance. It also will help you understand what is expected of you as you prepare your assignment.
Use your own words (paraphrase). For help with paraphrasing, please review the ‘Quoting and Paraphrasing’ service in the Trefry Library Writing@APUS Center.
Note that your Turnitin report similarity score should be under 20% (not including references) and free of paraphrasing issues. Review the color-flagged text on your report, fix any issues, and resubmit again before the deadline (this assignment is set to unlimited submissions).
Note that less than 10% of your work should contain direct quotes.
Email me with any questions!
Assignment Instructions: The topic of your Course Project will be any medical disease or condition of the body (e.g., arthritis is too broad; choose one specific type such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid, etc.). Choose ONLY one medical disease or condition that interests you, as this will be the topic used for all Course Project steps and assessments throughout the term.
Mini-Presentation requirements:
Your presentation will be submitted as an audio-narrated PowerPoint, narrated by you, the student. You cannot use “text-to-speech” programs or technologies that do the narration for you unless noted as an approved accommodation in a current DSA letter you have furnished to me. For instructions on creating audio narration in PowerPoint, see the following link: Record a Slide Show With Narration. Audio narration is a requirement!
Familiarize yourself with the BIOL181 Course Project Guide.
Create a 3-4-slide audio-narrated PowerPoint presentation to include the following:
A title slide with your name, date, class name, instructor name, and project topic
Content slide(s) to include:
The name of the medical disease or condition you chose as your topic and the reason for selecting
Definition of the medical disease or condition
History of the medical disease or condition
Relevant image of the medical disease or condition (and remember to cite your source for the image)
Reference slide for all source material and images used within the Mini-Presentation
APA in-text citation and reference formatting is optional for this assignment. However, it will be required for subsequent assignments.
*Writing Expectations: Apply scientific concepts and use scientific terminology correctly. Utilize proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation. For help with pronunciation, see this link: Merriam-Webster Medical Dictionary.

Upload your assignment for grading by selecting the “Add a File” section.
The new screen will prompt you to select the “My Computer” button so you can locate the PPT file of your Mini-Presentation on your computer (file size must be under 100MB).
Find the file and double-select it.
Select “Continue”.
Double-check to ensure that your Mini-Presentation was successfully uploaded as an attachment.
When you have completed this assignment, type “Completed” in the rich text editor box below.
Select the “Submit” button.
Your Mini-Presentation is automatically submitted to Turnitin with your submission: Mini-Presentations will be automatically added to and checked against the standard Turnitin repositories. Originality reports will be returned to the faculty and student in roughly 15 minutes of the submission. Multiple submissions are allowed before the due date. If you wish to learn more about and how to access Turnitin.com, a plagiarism detection website, these are available from the Trefry Online Library. APUS Writing Center
NOTE: For those having trouble uploading the PPT file directly to the classroom as instructed above, your file may be too large with audio narration or multiple images/videos. Therefore, save your presentation to OneDrive in Office 365, paste the link in the Comment box, and upload a non-audio version of your presentation file which will scan through Turnitin. Select HERE for instructions on uploading files and sharing links on OneDrive.
