In this assignment, you will submit both a paper and a PowerPoint presentation. The paper provides a mechanism to demonstrate your abilities to apply concepts you have learned in this course and to write for an academic audience. The purpose of the PowerPoint presentation is to develop your skills in designing and preparing presentations for audiences such as boards, special interest groups, or learners.
Instructions
Paper: Propose a plan to utilize systems theory, action research, principles of leadership and collaboration and ethics theory to address a problem related to public health:
Describe the problem and the need for a solution. (Do not choose a problem that focuses on any of the groups you referenced in your previous assignments.)
Apply ethical theory to provide the rationale for your proposed intervention.
Analyze how systems theory, action research, and principles of leadership and collaboration should be implemented to resolve this problem.
Propose methods of evaluating the success of your intervention.
This paper should also meet the following requirements:
Written communication should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.
APA (6th edition) style, formatting and citations. Append a list of all references you consult.
Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.
PowerPoint: This presentation should summarize the information in your paper in a way that would be understandable to someone who had not read the paper. However, the presentation should communicate the information as effectively as possible in visual terms:
The number of words on each slide should be cut to the bare minimum without losing the meaning.
As much as possible, relevant information should be conveyed visually through use of pictures and diagrams. However, minimize the use of decorative elements or effects that distract from meaning. (Note: You must cite the source of any visual material that you did not create yourself within your presentation.)
Only use typefaces that are easy to read. Do not use more than two typefaces of different names (such as Helvetica or Times). However, it is very helpful to use some appropriate contrasts of sizes and weights of type to focus the viewer’s attention on the most important content within each slide.
