You many use various sources, including your textbook or other scholarly material. Since you will not be presenting this PowerPoint to your instructor in person, you may sometimes need to add written explanation for the contents of your slides. If this becomes necessary, you may use the PowerPoint slide notes function to provide brief explanations.
You will need to emphasize key points on public health crises and the role of NGOs. Visual emphasis such as bold, italicized, or underlined text should be used sparingly in order to maximize the prominence of key points.
Each slide should address a single concept, and slides should follow a logical progression, each building on the other.
