Abnormal Behavior Week 10 Final Project


To prepare:

  • Select a disorder from the DSM-5 that you have explored in this course but have not written about extensively.
  • Search the Walden Library and/or the internet for at least 8 peer-reviewed articles related to the disorder that you have selected.
    Note: You are required to include 8–10 citations in your presentation based on your research.
  • Review this week’s Learning Resources addressing how to use PowerPoint and how to create narrated PowerPoint presentations.
  • Use the PowerPoint presentation template found in this week’s Learning Resources to create your presentation.
  • Even though you are providing narration for your PowerPoint presentation, please also write detailed speaker notes for each slide to complement the slide content. Speaker notes should be clear, in-depth, and function as augmentation to the slide material.
    Note: Your speaker notes should be written with sufficient depth to allow someone else to deliver the presentation. Make sure the PowerPoint presentation reflects graduate-level writing and presentation standards, with professional looking graphics and appropriate fonts, formatting, and spacing.
