Instructions
1. In this assessment, you are required to submit the final poster with an audio presentation.
The metabolic adaptations that satisfy the energy needs of the body in starvation with a focus on carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism.
2. Your final poster should be of no more than one PPT slide and must have an audio explanation of no more than three minutes. If you prefer to submit a separate audio file along with the poster, please upload the audio file along with the poster before clicking the submission button.
3. PowerPoint/ similar software may be used to design a poster.
4. Poster template and examples
• You may use the poster template provided in the Assessment 2 section in Blackboard, as a guide to design your poster. Please note that this sample poster template is to be used as an example only.
• You may use the following link to view examples of posters that have been designed to explain scientific concepts:
5. Word count and layout
• Any content over the above stated word limit (1500 words +/- 10% one PPT slide poster) may not be assessed.
• Reference is not included in the word count.
• Use of diagrams, figures and tables should be limited to two each. Please label all tables and figures and refer to the label in the text. For example: ‘As shown in Figure 1 _____’.
• Please use appropriate sub-headings to organise and structure the information.
• Relevant content, sub-headings including title, introduction, conclusion and the reference list must be presented in a single slide.
6. Referencing
• Referencing is mandatory.
• In-text citations as well as a reference list following the APA referencing style should be included.
• A minimum of two and a maximum of ten references are required.
• It is essential that you use appropriate APA style for citing and referencing research.
Please see more information on referencing here: https://library.torrens.edu.au/academicskills/apa/tool
• You may use any font size/type to match your poster’s needs. A small font size is recommended for in-text referencing.
7. Audio presentation
• While the one slide poster should include all the relevant information regarding the chosen topic, the 3 minutes audio presentation is still a mandatory component for your final poster submission.
• For example, assume that you are a health care practitioner presenting a poster at a conference. You are also competing in the ‘Best poster’ contest. A judge arrives at your poster and seeks clarification on the content from you. What would you say in three minutes about the poster? This is what you would record.
8. How to record a narrated presentation?
• The following link provides information to record a narrated presentation:
• You may record the audio using other means and may submit it as a separate audio file.
• Please ensure that you upload the audio file along with the final poster and then click submit.
