What NURS 751 Week 4 WebEx Class Presentation 2 asks for

Presentation 2 is in Module/Week 4 on substance abuse, trauma and dissociative disorders, the same week as Symptom Analysis Evaluation 2. The format is the same: five slides, 10 minutes to present, 2 to 3 minutes for questions, at least 2 peer-reviewed or evidence-based references. Worth 100 points.

Where it fits in NURS 751

In the published schedule, WebEx Class Presentation 2 is one of 7 graded written assignments in NURS 751. It follows Week 4 Symptom Analysis Evaluation 2 and comes before Week 6 Evidence Based Article Review. The same week also has Symptom Analysis Evaluation 2, so plan the week's writing together.

How NURS 751 Week 4 WebEx Class Presentation 2 is graded

Liberty grades WebEx Class Presentation 2 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. The rubric rows are the real instructions. Draft against them, and you will rarely be surprised by the grade.

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 4 method, step by step

  1. Plan the talk before the slides

    Write the message of the WebEx Class Presentation 2 in two sentences, then outline the points that support it. Slides built before the message tend to become a stack of facts.

  2. One idea per slide

    Give each slide a headline that states its point and keep the text short. The detail belongs in what you say or in the speaker notes.

  3. Put the evidence where it is used

    Meet the source requirement (At least 2 peer-reviewed or evidence-based references) with citations on the slides themselves, plus a final references slide in current APA.

  4. 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.

  5. Rehearse to the time limit

    Do one timed run before the final recording and trim to fit the limit.

  6. Check the technical requirements

    Confirm the format the guide asks for (Five slides; 10 minutes plus 2 to 3 minutes of questions): slide count, length, audio and visual, and the file or link type Canvas accepts.

A topic angle that works

For PTSD, the neurobiology slide can carry the presentation: an overactive amygdala, a hippocampus that fails to place memory in context and a prefrontal cortex that cannot dampen fear explain the symptoms and why trauma-focused therapy works.

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.

NURS 751 Week 4, sample speaker notes for the neurobiology slide

Three structures explain most PTSD symptoms. The amygdala, which detects threat, is hyperresponsive; the hippocampus, which places memories in time and place, shows reduced volume in many studies, so the memory feels present rather than past; and the medial prefrontal cortex, which normally calms the amygdala, is underactive.1 Trauma-focused therapies such as prolonged exposure are thought to work by strengthening that prefrontal control.2

  1. Ties structures to symptoms.
  2. States the evidence carefully.
  3. Connects biology to treatment.
