Assessment - Oral presentation
Purpose: This recorded oral presentation allows you to demonstrate your understanding of the structure and function an organ system in relation to normal functioning of the human body.
Overview: In this assignment, you will be assessed on your understanding of two assigned body systems (covered between weeks 1-10) and how they contribute to maintenance of normal body function. See rubric below for detailed criteria. Get expert online assignment help in the USA.
Body system 1: You are required to discuss the structure and function of this body system at various levels of organisation. You must explain how this system contributes to normal body function and maintenance of homeostasis. The homeostatic mechanism you discuss must be chosen from the below list.
Body temperature ÿ Blood pressure (short term)
Blood calcium ÿ Blood pressure (long term)
Blood glucose ÿ Childbirth
Blood pH ÿ Milk let-down
Body system 2: You are required to briefly describe the structure and function of this system. You must also explain how body system 1 contributes to the function of this second body system.
Topics will be released in Week 3 of semester. You MUST complete your oral presentation on the body systems assigned to you. No marks will be awarded if you submit an assessment on another topic.
Length and/or format You are required to make a 7-minute recorded oral presentation (a video with audio, written text and pictures/diagrams) and prepare a script/transcript of your spoken delivery. Time does not include the reference list (you do not need to speak to that). Markers will not listen beyond 7 minutes and 30 seconds of speech, nor will marks be awarded beyond this point. Total marks available for this assignment are 50 marks.
Your presentation must include:
First slide: Title slide including your name, student number and course of study.
Content slides: Presentation of necessary information. Must include in text citations for all sources and appropriate citation of images.
Last slide(s): Titled ‘References' - reference list containing entries for all images and information sources.
Your script/transcript must include:
A double spaced, typed copy of your script (or transcript of the video if you did not use a script) that matches your submitted oral presentation.
Appropriate in text citations and a reference list. Get expert online assignment help in the USA.
This is an individual assessment task. It is open book, and you can use text and online resources. However, note that the submission should be your own work. Sharing answers with another student, copying or poorly paraphrasing from online sources and/or inadequate acknowledgement of sources violates the ACU Academic integrity and misconduct policy. Any breach will be managed according to the ACU Academic Misconduct
Procedures.
Guidance on AI use Do not submit AI generated text as your original work as this is considered plagiarism and may result in failure. Therefore, it is essential you refrain from directly copying and pasting AI generated text into your work. It is also imperative to exercise caution, as some information provided may not be accurate and may include false/fake references.
It is crucial to acknowledge the use of generative AI models in your assessment tasks. Find out more about acknowledging the use of generative AI models here.
Where AI might be helpful in this task
Improve clarity or succinctness of expression
Look for literature (be very careful with this as AI can make up references. Even if AI has identified a source for you, always read the source yourself)
Generate a scaffold of how to organize ideas and structure your presentation.
Suggest ideas to discuss. Be aware that AI can be quite generic in its suggestions and not provide genuinely insightful and specific suggestions that will demonstrate the sort of insightful and creative understanding of content necessary for high distinction
Where AI might not be helpful in this task
Work with research literature, particularly interpreting and referencing papers.
Reminder: it is an academic integrity breach not to reference,
reference sources that have not been used, or falsify references.
