Where it fits in NURS 751
In the published schedule, WebEx Class Presentation 1 is one of 7 graded written assignments in NURS 751. It follows Week 2 Symptom Analysis Evaluation 1 and comes before Week 4 Symptom Analysis Evaluation 2.
How NURS 751 Week 3 WebEx Class Presentation 1 is graded
Liberty grades WebEx Class Presentation 1 with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 100 points in the published guide. That is about 10% of the course's 1,010 points. Read the rubric first. Each row is a criterion, and the wording of the highest column is the closest thing you have to a model answer.
Course grades in NURS 751 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 940 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 begins on Monday morning at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends on Sunday 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 751 Week 3 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 (At least 2 peer-reviewed or evidence-based references).
Write speaker notes or a script
Script the talk slide by slide. If the guide asks for voiceover or notes, the analysis lives there.
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 (Five slides; 10 minutes to present plus 2 to 3 minutes of questions), that audio plays, and that the link or file opens for someone else.
A structure for NURS 751 Week 3 WebEx Class Presentation 1
Word targets are planning numbers for about 900 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Slide 1: The disorder | Definition and DSM-5 criteria. | ~180 words |
| Slide 2: Neurobiology | The brain basis. | ~200 words |
| Slide 3: Assessment | Screening tools and differential. | ~200 words |
| Slide 4: Treatment | Evidence-based management. | ~200 words |
| Slide 5: Discussion and references | A question for the class; sources. | ~130 words |
A topic angle that works
Five slides in ten minutes is two minutes a slide. End with one discussion question that has no easy answer (when should a PMHNP diagnose ADHD in an adult with a history of substance use?) so the WebEx discussion has somewhere to go.
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.
For suspected mild neurocognitive disorder, the screen we recommend is the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, which detects mild impairment better than the Mini-Mental State Examination.1 A score below 26 is a reason for further work-up, not a diagnosis: depression, B12 deficiency, hypothyroidism and medication effects all have to be excluded, since several are reversible.2
- Names a specific tool and why.
- States what a score means.
- Lists reversible causes.
Mistakes that cost points on NURS 751 Week 3
- Too many slides for ten minutes.
- Fewer than 2 evidence-based references.
- No discussion question.
