What NURS 220 Week 5 Personal PowerPoint Presentation asks for
You submit a 2 to 3-slide PowerPoint (not counting the required title and reference slides) that shows you can assess an emotional reaction scenario and enhance information through visual communication. It should be a professional presentation you would use to present your information to an organization. It is due in Module/Week 5 and worth 50 points.
Where it fits in NURS 220
In the published schedule, Personal PowerPoint Presentation is one of 11 graded written assignments in NURS 220. It follows Week 5 Discussion Board Forum 2 and comes before Week 6 Discussion Board Forum 3. The same week also has Discussion Board Forum 2, so plan the week's writing together.
How NURS 220 Week 5 Personal PowerPoint Presentation is graded
Liberty grades Personal PowerPoint Presentation with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 50 points in the published guide. That is about 5% of the course's 1,010 points. Open the rubric before you draft and read across each row: the top column describes what full credit looks like, and the gap between columns tells you what costs points.
Course grades in NURS 220 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 900 to 1010 points of the course total. Missing the length or source minimum usually costs points on several rows at once, which is why the checklist below starts with them.
Timing in the published guide: Each course module/week (except Module/Week 1) begins on Tuesday morning at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends on Monday night at 11:59 p.m. (ET). The final module/week ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.
The NURS 220 Week 5 method, step by step
Plan the talk before the slides
Decide what the audience should know or do at the end, and outline the talk around that. The slides come last.
One idea per slide
Each slide carries one point, stated in its title. Short lines, readable type, no paragraphs on the slide.
Put the evidence where it is used
Cite sources on the slides where you use them and list them on a references slide (Cite sources on the reference slide in current APA).
Write speaker notes or a script
Write notes for each slide in full sentences. They keep the recording on time and give the grader the reasoning the slides only point to.
Rehearse to the time limit
Do one timed run before the final recording and trim to fit the limit.
Check the technical requirements
Before submitting, check the slide count and timing (2 to 3 slides, plus a title slide and a reference slide), that audio plays, and that the link or file opens for someone else.
A structure for NURS 220 Week 5 Personal PowerPoint Presentation
Word targets are planning numbers for about 500 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Title and purpose | Topic, audience and the message of the talk. | ~50 words |
| Main points | The slides that carry the argument, one point each. | ~280 words |
| Evidence | Data and sources on the slides where used. | ~80 words |
| Close | What the audience should take away or do. | ~50 words |
| References | Sources in current APA on a final slide. | ~50 words |
A topic angle that works
Treat the slides as one clear message each: what happened (the reaction), why (the story or trigger, using Crucial Conversations), and what to do (the skill). Use an image or simple diagram on each slide rather than paragraphs.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
Slide 2, what happened: a family member raises his voice when told visiting hours are over; visual, a simple path diagram from facts to story to feeling to action.1 Slide 3, what to do: restore safety, acknowledge the fear, state the shared goal, then explain the rule and offer an option such as a call at bedtime.2 Each slide uses one image and fewer than 20 words, so the speaker carries the detail.3
- Uses the textbook's path model visually.
- Gives a clear response sequence.
- Keeps slide text minimal.
Mistakes that cost points on NURS 220 Week 5
- More than 3 content slides.
- Text-heavy slides.
- Missing the title or reference slide.
