Details:

The final assessment task for this subject involves the presentation of the issue identified in your major assignment using three slides in six minutes. You also need to provide a 250-word abstract that summarises the findings of your analysis of the literature. Your three slides will be presented during a seminar day at the end of the semester and be marked by a panel who you will present to.

Your presentation will be timed for six minutes and marks are allocated for keeping to this time. It may pay to follow a set structure, for example identifying your issue on the first slide, summarising the key points of the literature on the second slide and recommendations to improve practice/further research on the final slide. Remember, this subject is about using the research to support your argument and critical thinking so merely providing a three-slide summary of a topic will not get you many marks.

Your abstract needs to identify the issue and provide a brief synopsis of the literature findings in 250 words. It should not require any referencing and read as a strong overview of your paper. Consider looking at the abstracts of journal articles during the semester to get a feel of how to structure your abstract. The abstract must be submitted on the seminar day.
