MyTest for evaluating topical PowerPoint presentations.

For each student prepared PowerPoint Topic presentations I will evaluate them looking for the following items:

Incidence

Prevalence

Attributes:

• race
• age
  
• culture
  
• geography
  
• genetics
  
• sex
  
• adverse behaviours, for example smoking

Interventions:

• 
  primary prevention
  
• secondary prevention
  
• tertiary prevention
  
• community

Research

• bench
  
• feasibility
  
• translational

I am not trying to set up a cookie-cutter presentation but only that when you make your presentation on the epidemiology of a particular topic that you include each of these elements in your presentation. Your use and ordering will depend on how you approach the particular topic, the references you use, and how you want to make your points. You are not limited to just the items I have identified because various websites associated with each topic may disclose points you would like to include that may not fit the list I have provided. Feel free to be innovative and stimulate discussion amongst your peers.
