Content: 70 points. Broken down into:

1- Introduction about the disorder- disease you have chosen. In this introduction you will need to state what type of presenter you are and who your target audience is. 5%

2- Describe the normal anatomy and/or physiology at the cellular, tissue, organ, system level that the disease or disorder affects. 10%

3- Describe the changes that develop in the disorder/disease (changes to physiology/anatomy). This should be in depth with the latest scientific information. 10%

4- Describe the specific age-related changes to disorder/disease (physical changes, how they occur, when they start occurring, is it progressive). 10%

5- List other risk factors, besides age, for the disease/disorder 5%

6- What are the common symptoms that people with the disorder/disease experience: Based on the physical changes what symptoms does the individual experience 5%

7-Treatment/Prevention: What are things that can be adjusted to prevent or minimize the changes that occur in the disease/disorder. What types of treatment are currently clinically recommended. Describe the treatments and be specific if it cures, decreases symptoms, or just slows progression of the disease. 10%

8-Impact on the aging (this could be social, economic, safety risks) 10%

9-What types of research are currently being conducted? 5%

PRESENTATION: 20

Broken down by: Verbal Communication (5%) & Target audience/presenter (5%), Design/creativity of Presentation (10%)

GRAMMAR/REFERENCES 10: 5% each

REFERRENCES: MINIMUM 3 REFERENCES with 3 reference meeting the following criteria: THEY MUST BE PUBLISHED WITHIN THE LAST 10 YEARS. THEY MUST BE DERIVED FROM EVIDENCE BASED RESEARCH JOURNALS OR RESEARCH BASED WEBSITES OR GOVERNMENT OR MEDICAL WEBSITES. THEY MUST BE PEER REVIEWED SITES. DO NOT USE RESOURCES THAT ARE NOT GEARED TO THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY FOR YOUR INFORMATION BECAUSE SUCH AS WEBSITES ARE GEARED TO PROVIDING BASIC INFORMATION TO THE AVERAGE PERSON (THESE WEBSITES HAVE INFORMATION FOR ABOUT A FIFTH GRADE IQ AND THAT IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THIS PROJECT).
