Power Point Final Exam Project
HLTH 3420 Health Education
Each student will be completing an individual power point
presentation over your Health Education topic. The Health
Education topic is something of particular interest to you in the
realm of health care. The topic is submitted to your instructor
for approval prior to beginning the teaching project. You may
need a bit of guidance in targeting your topic. Examples of a
few topics previously used:
· Understanding Hyperthyroidism
· Recognizing Stress
· What you do not Know about Peridontal Disease
· Childhood Obesity
· HIV/AIDS Among Women
You are a health care provider teaching your first class. You
will teach the class using a PowerPoint presentation. You will
also provide a handout for the audience. The following
assignments will assist you in developing the final presentation:
>Select a topic of interest
>Develop Behavioral/Learning Objectives
>Design a Content Outline
>Completion of a Teaching Plan Outline
Your submitted presentation will be worth 20% of your grade

3. · Your PowerPoint presentation will consist of 20-28 slides.
Each slide will contain lecture notes located in the “Speaker
notes” area below the slide to supplement your power point
slides. Speaker notes will consist of at least five sentences per
slide. Speaker notes are what you would actually say to the
audience.
· Slide 1: The name of the class you have created, your name,
name of the course (Health Education), semester & year
· Slides 2-28: Contain the following information: (You may add
up to 5 slides to insert additional information)
a. Slide 2-3: Introduction/Background of the topic
(may include definition, statistics, prevalence)
b. Slide 3-5: List your overall goal/learning outcome and related
objectives. A minimum of 3 objectives are required.
c. Body of the presentation will take approximately 5-10 slides:
Begin with the Content Outline you’ve developed and provide
the teaching information that you will share with your audience.
Be careful not to crowd too much information on your slides.
Most of your effort will be in the “speaker notes” in the white
space area below the slide as you actually teach the class. This
is where you will provide detailed information for the content
that is presented on the slide to the audience. In an actual
presentation, the audience only sees the PPT slide, not the
speaker notes. Remember, this is what you will say to the
audience.
d. Conclusion/ Summary: 1-2 slides.
e. Convert your previous submitted written handout into a slide
if possible. If you cannot do it, it is ok, since I have already
viewed and graded your handout. (1-2 slides).
f. You will add 3 small visual aids incorporated throughout your
content. You may also want to add a large visual aid (1-2 slides)
at the end of the presentation to show what you may use in
class. Please use clip art or other pictures which are not
copyright protected.
g. Provide evaluation method (insert quiz, return demonstration
instructions, general questions you will ask) (1-2 slides) for

4. each evaluation method you planned.
h. Find and summarize two research articles found on your
subject in a journal using the online University library, Galileo.
Etc. (2 slides). Make sure to also provide the web links or cite
complete information according to APA format in your
references.
i. List at least 4 references from reliable health sites and 2
references from the research articles (total 6 references) (1
slide).
j. How will you prepare your classroom? Are chairs in a semi-
circle? Are there tables or desk? List all the supplies you will
need in the beginning of your speaker notes under introduction.
Example: chalkboard, LCD projector, CD player, 12 chairs,
snacks, dry erase board, etc.
General Tips for Success on the Project
· Keep it simple! Less on the slide is actually better.
· Save details for the speaker notes.
· Contrast text and background color. Make sure the font and
color can be easily read by the audience. Be creative and
professional in appearance with slides.
· Do not insert pictures which are copyrighted sources as you do
not have permission to use them. Us only pictures from “Clip
Art” or other sources that are not copyright infringements.
· Please note: Lecture/ speaker notes are inserted below the
slide. Speaker notes are what you would actually be saying if
you are presenting this information in class. They are also
known as speaker/ lecture notes. If you have questions how to
insert speaker notes, please contact the HUB. Speaker notes do
not go in the slide, but underneath in the “text area” below the
slide.
· Slides contain only bullet points and abbreviated words. Do
not routinely use sentences on the actual slides. Do not include
too much detailed information on your slides as your audience
will be reading your slides and not listening to you.
· Select two research articles pertaining to your subject from the
online library available through Clayton State. If you are not

5. sure how to do this, please contact the school library.
