Using your specific Group Project Discussion thread, this week you will contact your group members to discuss how your group will approach the project. All communication occurs in the Group Project Discussion thread. You are asked to be as creative as possible, while producing a professional, factually accurate and properly referenced Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. The intended audience for your work includes epidemiologists, scientists, and health care professionals. In your discussion, be sure to divide among yourselves the tasks necessary for the completion of the project and assign who will be responsible for each part. Consider all weeks, not just Week 2.
By the due date assigned, identify these tasks in your specific Group Project Discussion thread. Throughout this assignment, each student will be graded individually based on their contribution to the project as described in the grading rubric for each assignment. Group members may change and adjustments will be made as necessary.
By the due date assigned using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website each group member will complete their assigned Microsoft PowerPoint slides (13 slides each, excluding the slide of reference sources) and post to your group’s specific Week 2 Group Project folder. Your group name will be the same as your group name in the Group Project Discussion thread. For example, if you are in Group XYZ, post your Microsoft PowerPoint slides only to the Group XYZ Doc Sharing area. Please note that all Microsoft PowerPoint slides should be posted in the Week 2 Group Project submission folder and not to the Group Project Discussion thread.
Your assignment(s) may include the location, dates, risk factors, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of future outbreaks for the topic approved for your group. Individual assignments, posted on your specific Group Project Discussion thread, are based on the agreement between you, your team mates and the group leader. Submit references on a separate slide, citing all sources using APA format.
